Shauers Theatre was the original name. Address would have been 71 W. Lincolnway, per 1926 Sanborn Map added courtesy Kevin Matthew Pazour. Central Park Plaza is now on this site since 2011. Links with additional history and photos below. Flickr link with circa 1925 image below as well.

I drove past this theatre in the late spring of 1980. The lighted marquee was spectacular. The facade was dated 1921.
