The theatre depicted in the photo was located on grandview avenue between linden street and gates avenue within walking distance of Ms Franz home. The theatre and adjoining buildings were removed and replaced with the grandview theatre. I was invited here to set the record straight. I have no recollection of the theatre myself but I am told it could accomodate about 200 people. I also have no knowledge of the triangle building.
