Throughout its life, the Laurel was owned by: Mary Ernst, William Prutzman, George W. Bennethum, Al. H. Werner, and then eventually the Franklin Theatre Company. I may have missed one, though I believe that may be all. The Laurel would be known as the Palm and eventually the Rivoli.
It also seems the Franklin Theatre Company controlled the Laurel for a time. A repair permit for “repairs to front of building” at 540-42 Laurel Street to Franklin Theatre Company was published in the May 5, 1928 issue of the Reading Eagle.
Had a brief run in 1920 as the Palm Theatre.
