The Queen Theatre reopened after renovation under Franklin Theatre Company on August 14, 1926 showing “The Sea Beast” with John Barrymore.

Also, published in this same article, the location is described as “located on North Eleventh street beyond Buttonwood” This implies the location was not at 1108 Buttonwood, making 403-5 North 11th Street far more likely.

An article regarding the Franklin Circuit takeover from June 27, 1926 notes “The Queen Theatre was built and formerly operated by Walter C. Kantner, who is now devoting his entire time to a radio agency.”
