The Glen Lake Theatre was actually at 2201 6th Av N (not NE) in Minneapolis. The confusion is because 6th Av N was renamed Olson Memorial Highway in the late 1930s so you can’t Google 6th Av N.

In the 1916 and 1917 Minneapolis city directories it is listed as the New Penn Theatre but by 1918 is listed as the Glen Lake Theatre. In 1925 the building was moved on the same lot and altered to become a store.
