[edit] History of the name

When the theatre changed its name to "Paramount," there was already a Paramount Theatre in existence in Seattle. The duplicate names resulted in some legal drama, and the original Paramount was forced to change its name to Bruen's 45th St Theatre (Now The Guild 45th Theatre).

I know this, but I do not have a source. If anyone knows of any, it should probably be added to the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.61.41.160 (talk) 23:22, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
