Here’s the reason for the name change, I assume.

Boxoffice, July 24, 1954: “E. L. Baker of Spokane and Keith Beckwith of North Bend have bought the Motor-In Theatre from Lowell Thompson for a reported $100,000. Thompson built the 750-car airer in 1946 with Baker as his first manager.”

Google Maps says that the old East Trent site at 11201 E. Trent Avenue is in Spokane Valley, Spokane’s largest suburb.
