The New Theatre was listed as seating 300 in the Film Daily Yearbook’s of 1940 thru 1943. By 1950 it had been renamed Colorado Theatre. It was still open in 1952, but had closed by 1955.

There are 3 listings in the FDY of 1940
The Colorado listed as seating 500 and closed
The Orpheum (Glen) listed as seating 360
The New as seating 300
This would certainly lead one to believe that the Colorado and the New were 2 separate theatres however, the only 2 listings in the 1951 addition do make things sort of confusing:
Glen listed as seating 470
Colorado as seating 290
Canyon Drive-In (listed in the DI section)
The Colorado has a much smaller capacity than the 500 listed in ‘40, although one that more closely matches the 300 the New was listed as holding. Also, it’s no longer listed as closed. Of course, it’s also hard to miss the 110 seat increase in the Glen which was the exact same theatre as the Orpheum of '40 but wonky seating counts seemed to be a common occurrence in the FDY.
Any clarification would be most helpful.
