This theater opened in 1935 and suffered a devastating fire in 1941.
Reconstruction was delayed due to wartime shortages of materials, but it did later reopen, closing sometime in the 1950’s. It is now a private residence.

Here’s an article about the Swan, with history and a picture of it as it is today: View link
The Swan launched December 22, 1935 with “Whipsaw.” J.W. Smith and Associates did the architectural work. After a November 1, 1941 fire after hours, it was rebuilt as the Swan Theatre opening June 5, 1942 with Sabu in “Jungle Book.” The theatre closed at the expiry of its 20-year leasing agreeing in 1955. In 1956, the building was gutted for other retail purposes.
