The theatre was also named the Princess Theatre for some of its existence.

Seems to have been built in the 1920s, according to the MGM survey card. Google Maps shows it as an empty lot now.

The seating capacity listed in the 1927 FDY, 425, is very close to that listed on the 1941 MGM Theatre Report: 328 + 84 = 412.
