This house was still listed as the Caniff Theatre in the 1927 FDY. No theaters were listed on Caniff Street in the 1928 edition, but the Eagle Theater is listed at 2026 Caniff in 1929 (an Eagle was listed in 1928, but at 6345 Michigan.) In 1930 and 1931 no houses are listed on Caniff Street, but in 1932 a 360-seat New Eagle Theatre makes an appearance on Caniff Avenue, though without a street number.
A 360-seat Caniff Theater reappears on Caniff Avenue in 1933, but is listed as closed. The names Caniff, Eagle and Poland are all conspicuously absent from the 1934,‘35 and '36 FDYs. I haven’t checked later editions. If this house was ever called the Poland Theatre, I haven’t found when. It might have operated under that name too briefly to have made an appearance in the FDY.
