Hello to the website designer – this posting from Charles Van Bibber clearly says who the architect is and the chain that handled the original bookings – RKO. Perhaps you could update the info at the top of the page?

“designed by Oreste Di Saia in 1926. Oreste was also know for designing the Metropolitan Theatre in New York City.
The Columbus seated 1,492 when it opened on November 1, 1926. It was renamed the Uptown Theatre during a period of time when the bookings were handled by RKO. ”
