Denverpalace if a new Plaza was opened in April 1933 it’s not listed on CT. Also I looked at the other 27 theatres listed in Gary and see nothing which would correspond to a 1933 opening on either Broadway or 16th Street.

The Plaza indeed closed in 1931 because the building was razed by a fire. In September 1932 plans for a new $40,000 theater to be built on the site of the old Plaza were announced by local businessmen Andrew and John Konrady, who in November incorporated the Konrady Theater Corp. The Plaza Theater Corp. was formed in March 1933, a new Plaza opened in April, and the theater was transferred to F.M. Randolph in May 1933.
