12-year-old usher Brown McDowell outside the Princess Theater in October 1914

The Princess Theater was a small playhouse located at 216 20th Street North. It was built before 1914 and operated by the Mudd & Colley Amusement Company, which also operated the Rialto Theatre and Trianon Theatre. Documentary photographer Lewis Wickes Hine took a picture of 12-year old usher Brown McDowell outside the theater in October 1914.

The company sold its assets to the Carl Hoblitzelle circuit in 1926. The Princess remained open through the end of that decade.
