The building is now occupied by Catonville Custon Frasming and Catonville Optical.

I could find listings for the Alpha from 1930 on.

The only listing for a theatre I could find in 1928 was the Caton, was this one in the same? Caton AKA Alpha?

The Alpha opened on March 1st, 1928, not 1930 as stated above. See book “Catonsville: 1880 to 1940” by Edward Orser, page 134 and “Images of America: Catonsville” by Marsha Wight Wise, page 72.

It seems odd for a neighborhood house playing “To Have and Have Not” to be running it as a single feature.
