Yeah, that definitely has to be their mistake. Speaking of the Leaf, before the Leaf Theatre opened in 1949, is the Roxy or the Shaw the more dominant theater for the city of Quincy?

1,022 was the reported seating capacity of the Leaf Theatre when it opened in 1949. The FDY probably accidentally switched the capacities of the two theaters. Such mistakes were not uncommon in the Yearbooks.

Did it really had 1,022 seats? I don’t know if they had that amount of seats. I’m sure the yearbook had a huge error.
