The 1949 Film Daily Year Book listed the Cactus Theatre at 17th and Larimer, 500 seats. Was it the renamed Fun?

Boxoffice, Jan. 31, 1948: “Ted Knox of Service Theatre and Supply has bought the Cactus from Robert Patrick. The theatre will be managed by Ira "Swede” Knox, brother of Ted."

The Fun Theatre was at 1624 Larimer Street. It most likely opened in 1913, and is listed in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory.

MichaelKilgore: The Cactus Theatre was at 1727 Larimer, so not the same house.

I just found the listing of the Fun Theatre in the 1929 FDY and it is listed there at 1617 Larimer, so it must have moved from its original location at 1624 sometime after 1914.
