This looks like another well-researched New York theatre article from Epicgenius. My experience tells me it is likely to be close to Good Article status so I will start a review shortly. simongraham (talk) 13:59, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Comments

This is a stable and well-written article. 99.7% of authorship is by Epicgenius. It is currently ranked C class and appeared in the DYK column on 17 January 2022.

• The article is of appropriate length, 3,512 words of readable prose, plus an infobox.
• Unlike other theatre articles, there is no referenced list of notable productions. Would it be worth including?
  • This was primarily a movie theater throughout its history and never operated as a Broadway theater. The "notable productions" lists in other articles are based on Broadway shows and special concerts that have happened there. Since the Embassy only showed newsreels and movies, it would be unwieldy to mention all the notable movies that were shown at the theater, as movie screenings don't typically get that much media attention compared to Broadway plays.

    • That is a shame. simongraham (talk) 18:48, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
• It is written in a summary style, consistent with relevant Manuals of Style.
• Citations seem to be thorough. However, the style of them seems unusual. Footnotes 53 to 56 seem to contain many citations, and 96 is given as an example. I suggest returning to the single citation per footnote; I can see this combining with the list of productions - in the narrative give one relevant citation and move the remainder to the list as appropriate to cover the entries.
  • This is mostly per the guideline WP:CITEBUNDLE, which suggests combining entries that are related, specifially Bundling is also useful if the sources each support a different portion of the preceding text. Epicgenius (talk) 17:18, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
    • OK. simongraham (talk) 18:48, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
• The quote in the Pittsburgh press is "I have decided that women are more reliable than men". Is it worth including that?
  • I have removed it. Epicgenius (talk) 17:18, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
• References appear to be from reputable sources.
• Images have appropriate licensing and CC tags. Thank you, Epicgenius, for adding your eight contributions, without which there would be only one illustration, which would make the article all the poorer.
  • You're welcome. Epicgenius (talk) 17:18, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
• Earwig's Copyvio Detector identifies a 9.1% chance of copyright violation, a low likelihood.
• There are no obvious grammar or spelling errors.

@Epicgenius: Please can you take a look at these comments and ping me your thoughts. simongraham (talk) 17:08, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
