Thanks for the update. The structure that I saw could have easily accommodated 550. AMC built an 18-screen multiplex here in 1998 also called the Colonial with a seating capacity at lease four times greater than the original theatre.

The 1941 edition of Film Daily Yearbook gives a seating capacity of 200 for the Colonial Theater. In the 1943 edition it is listed as 200 seats (closed), but there is a New Colonial Theatre listed with 675 seats.

By the 1950 edition of F.D.Y. the Colonial Theatre (having dropped ‘New’ from the name) is listed with 550 seats. This could mean the theatre was either closed and rebuilt (enlarged) or a totally new theatre built on another site in around 1942. I have no record of a street address.
