This theater goes back to 1921. The Princess came before this house in the earlier 1900’s. The article about the dispute over playing films on Sunday below indicates both were going concurrently. The ads continue into the 1920’s but stop in 1923 or so. That is not to say the theater didn’t last longer. The Yale Theater seems to have been conceived in 1937 by the owner of the Princess but was a new facility.
Building is currently a Little Caesar’s pizza shop.
May 1959 Peter Dubovenko reopened the Yale at Yale, formerly operated by Ernest Tesluck, with Alex Dubovenko as film buyer.
