In operation, as the East Side Beauty Show from around 1908, it was re-named Royal Theatre by 1914 and around 1918 was known as Finger’s Theatre.
Another change of name to East Side Beauty Theatre came in the early 1920’s and the theatre continued to exhibit motion pictures until 1926. It was torn down and the much larger Mecca Theatre was built on an enlarged plot of land.

Thanks for the extra info. I note that the Mecca Theatre has it’s own listing on Cinema Treasures. It was a much larger theatre than the East Side Beauty Theatre, for which we can now change the status to Closed/Demolished.
