I could go out on a limb and say that this 1946 photo shows another theater in Susanville called the Orpheum. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen any photos of an actual building that would verify this:

Here’s another puzzle. The market in this 1954 photo is at Mission and Rolph Streets. I would argue that this was a theater at some point. Any ideas?

Tom, the Crown is listed under Cine Latino, which would also be your listing for the New Latino.
