In the late 1940s the Princess and the Ritz in Lebanon were part of the Crescent Amusement Company, headquarted in Nashville.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I know never to doubt ones grandmother. These dates are the years the theatre appeared in the Film Weekly Journal Yearbook. This building, which formerly was the Princess, was built in 1900, years before the FWJY came to print (your inquiry prompted me the change the dates on the photo). From what I have been able to gather so far is that the Princess was in operation during the 1920s and possibly earlier.

Jack, thanks for the photo. I notice the dates 1945-1955 on the image. Are these the operating dates of the Princess? Grandma might have been wrong about which theatre she saw films in. Or maybe this building replaced an earlier one. Grandma has been gone for many years now, too late to ask for additional details.

Found this collage photo of the block which includes the Princess, now sans any architectural features. Seems it is now used as a church.
