Is this the same theatre? Was it later called the Capitol?

The Royal theatre was one of three houses listed at Woodstock in 1938, the others being the Capitol and the Princess. The Royal was designed in 1937 for Samuel D. Axelrod by Guelph architect William Austin Mahoney, and might have opened before the end of 1937. Mahoney also designed the Royal Theatre at Guelph in 1934 and the Grand Theatre at Fergus in 1928.
