Olden Avenue is the correct name of the street. As recently as a couple years ago the USPS online zip code listings contained a dedicated nine-digit zip for “Olden Theater Bldg”. It’s a brown brick two-story building with what looks like terra-cotta trim; appears to be used for retail and maybe apartments upstairs.

Looks like we are onto something. Here is another night photo of the marquee promoting a band in October 1972:

It is just an educated guess. I just can’t fathom a theater named Olden on a street named Alden when there’s a main street in town named Olden.
(Did you follow that logic?)

Thanks LM. By the way, I believe that the FDY address is incorrect. This theater is/was most likely located on S. Olden Avenue, a major street in Trenton.
