The Crystal Theatre was listed at 118 W. 2nd Street in the 1914-1915 AMPD, but later that year the building at that address became the home of the Crescent Theatre, and the Crystal decamped, apparently to 723 S. Main Street, a building which became the Rialto Theatre in 1924. I believe that the photo I’m seeing above does indeed depict the house at 118 2nd, and should be moved to the Crescent Theatre page. This page is, I fear, now redundant, and the venerable name Crystal Theatre, dating back in Little Rock as far as 1908, must be reduced to mere aka’s on the Crescent and Rialto pages. Alas, poor Crystal, we hardly knew ye!

Wait! I just saw a photo of the Rialto, and it’s the same house in our picture of the Crystal above, so don’t move that photo to the Crescent page.
