Lyell Theatre

The August 18, 1948 issue of The Exhibitor said that the Dipson circuit’s new theater in the Lyell Avenue shopping center was designed by architect R. E. Van Alstine. I’ve been unable to find any other references to an architect of that name, though it does sound vaguely familiar. Perhaps a typo was involved, but if so I can’t puzzle out what the name should have been.
