Photograph of the East Side Playhouse, 1985, by Michael F. Donadio. The building, located at E. 74th St. in Manhattan, was demolished in the 1980s.

The late Jerry Gotham (choreographer) and the late Raymond Allen (stage actor), who were the co-directors of the Light Opera of Manhattan when the photo was taken, are standing in front of the building.

The image qualifies for the fair use exception to the copyright laws because:

• This photo is being used to illustrate an educational article about the theatre company resident at the theatre, the Light Opera of Manhattan, which performed at the theatre for a decade until the theatre closed in the 1980s;
• The subject of this publicity photograph, the East Side Playhouse, was destroyed, and so the photo is a historic photo that cannot be replaced;
• The persons whose images appear in the photo, Jerry Gotham (choreographer) and the late Raymond Allen (stage actor) are deceased;
• It is a low resolution image; and
• Use of the image will not deprive the copyright holder of any income or opportunities to exploit the image.

This image is a two-dimensional representation of a building or architectural work which has been destroyed, demolished, or otherwise permanently altered in a way that makes it impossible to take a new photograph serving the same encyclopedic purpose. This image is protected by copyright by the publisher of the destroyed architecture. It is believed that the use of low-resolution versions of such images solely to illustrate the historic appearance of the building in question, where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: Please add a detailed non-free use rationale for each article the image is used in, which must also declare compliance with the other parts of the non-free content criteria, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. For example non-free use rationales, see Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. This tag should only be used for images of architectural works. Do not use it for images by others. To patrollers and administrators: If this image has an appropriate rationale please append |image has rationale=yes as a parameter to the license template. Note: If any public domain or freely licensed photograph of the building is discovered or obtained, this image should be deleted and replaced. If the building is out of copyright in its home country or if said photograph was taken in a country which has freedom of panorama for buildings and architectural works which do not restrict commercial use (such as the United States; see here for a full list of which countries are OK), consider uploading to Wikimedia Commons instead, which allows other Wikimedia projects to use the image. If the building is copyrighted in its home country and there is no freedom of panorama provision in that country, then upload it locally under a free license, appending the tag {{FoP-USonly}}.
