I can understand the mistake of Marysville and Maryville, Some of the trade magazines list it both ways. The opening year had to be 1939, the Tivoli was listed at 327 seats in 1938 and 750 in 1939.

Chris1982 commented about Ute Theatre on Sep 6, 2014 at 6:13 am

Joe, the Ute goes back to the 1920’s when it was known as the Rialto Theatre, it may have been the Princess prior to Rialto. It was also known as the Chipita Theatre after the Rialto and before the Ute. I believe that after Robert O. Boller’s remodel in 1935 for the J.B. Cooper enterprises is when it was renamed the Ute Yheatre.

This theatre goes back to the 1920’s when it was known as the Electric Theatre. The Boller Brothers did a complete remodel of the existing theatre and it was then renamed the Mercier Theatre. In 1934 it was owned by the Electric Theatre Company. This theatre should have an AKA Electric Theatre.

If the IOOF was used for movies in the 1980’s that had to be after the Cozy Theatre was already closed. The Motion Picture Yearbook says the Municipal Auditorium was used for movies from 1927 thru 1930.

The Royal Theatre goes back to at least 1926 when it was the Grand Theatre, it became the Macon Theatre in 1931. No idea when it was changed to the Royal. In 1957 it was still known as the Macon Theatre
