The last name for this theatre was Pleasant Green Community Theatre, shouldn’t that be the name in the Header?

Conversion of the Avenue Theatre into the Cameo Theatre by the Commonwealth circuit took place in 1969. The May 19 issue of Boxoffice said that the changes included a radical floor redesign and a complete redecoration. A new facade was installed as well. The architects for the project were Commonwealth’s usual choice, Milton Costlow & Associates.
I a, a little confused on the names of this theatre in the header, initially it was the Avenue Theatre, that is clear, but it later became the Cameo and finsally the Pleasant Green Community Theatre. Why is it listed as the Avvenue, shouldn’t the last known name be first and then the Cameo and finally the Avenue as AKA’s? That is the way all the other theatres are listed on CT.
From 2010 a photo of the Avenue Theatre buildiing in
Kansas City.
