I think it was the same theater, should be an aka.
It was the Bob Burns Theater in 1963, when it was part of the Malco Theater chain.
The Shannon was listed in the 1963 IMPA. It was part of the Malco Theater chain at that time headquartered in Memphis.
Listed as the Dustbowl in the 1963 IMPA. Operator was Louis F. Long Enterprises.
Which of course is what LM said immediately above. My mistake.
There is additional information here. It looks like the theater was razed in 1984, or around that time: http://tinyurl.com/yuxld6

Perhaps function should be first-run movies as opposed to movies, no description.
Isn’t that the Masonic symbol on the front of the building? I wonder if it was a temple for the Masons at some point, hence the name.
The Burns was part of the Graphic Theater circuit in the early sixties. Here is a 1940 program that is currently for sale on eBay: http://tinyurl.com/23xjkr
