Based on Mike Rivest’s post above, the above ad for the Strand indicates that it was part of Famous Players in its later years.

This web page has a few photos of the Pantages, including two of the interior, which displayed many of the design characteristics that Priteca called the “Pantages Greek” style which he would use on later Pantages houses well into the 1920s.
