I have the Crown Theatre listed in Film Daily Yearbooks’s;1941 and 1942 editions with a seating capacity of 800 (no address given)

In the 1950 edition of F.D.Y. it has gone from the listings, but there is a Allen Theatre (not in the two previous editions) that is located at 72 Middlesex Street, Lowell, MA. with a seating capacity given as 970. Could this be a re-named Crown Theatre?
