Looks like this one is gone, too.

This venue served as the second home to the Alhambra Theatre launching December 24, 1913. In 1938, the Vogue Theatre of 1914 moved to the Alhambra’s spot around 1938. Next up was the Royal Princess Theatre on December 15, 1960 until 1963. It finished as Elwood’s State Theatre launching December 27, 1964 and ceasing in February of 1965. A demolition photo from 1973 may be the end of the line for the building.
