This article in The Garfieldian shows that in mid-1947 the theatre bore the name “K & C”:

When the city’s drive on license violators hit theaters last week, seven West Side movie houses made quick amends in their admission prices. In view of speedy corrections of the violations, Judge Cecil Smith discharged the cases.
