Crescent Theater

Following up on the Motion Picture Directory address, looking at 23 Crandall Street today, there is a large vacant lot (with pavement indicating the prior existence of a building) and the building next door matches the one in the picture closely enough (though not exactly) that it could possibly be the same.

If so, very strange place to put a theater, at the end of a dead end street by the railroad, though there is an ancient tunnel under the railroad that probably dates back to this period.
