The Glade Theatre is listed in the 1951 Film Daily Yearbook as seating 381. It also gives an address of 348 Boggs Avenue.
Rather strangely, the Washington Theatre is listed in the 1941 and 1943 editions of Film Daly Yearbook with a 350 seating capacity, located at 121 Boggs Avenue (close enough to the address given above for the Glade Theatre). The 1950 edition of FDY gives the Glade Theatre location as 348 Boggs Avenue (381 seats).
I wonder if there was a re-numbering of the street? and also a change of name?
I don’t know which address is the correct one. The Pittsburgh City Directory for 1950 gives 123 Boggs Avenue for the Glade and no Washington Theater is listed. Its possible that Washington was a previous name for the Glade Theater. Either the City Directory or the FDYbook is incorrect. The question is, which one is wrong.
