The Clark Theatre opened on May 22, 1931. There was a bombing in the lobby of the theatre shortly after opening. Initially the theatre seated 700 but was remodeled in 1949 with seating reduced to 550. The Clark was located on the corner of Georgia St. & 4th St. There is nothing there now.
Joe, there was another blog that talked about the two Lexington Theatres and also had the same photo as your weblog. The motion picture yearbook lists the address that is in the header. In the blog the lady said that the Main Street was across the street from the court house and that the Eagle was a block away from the court house. In the blog it also said that Lexington was east of Kansas City (which is correct) on the Mississippi (which is incorrect, It is on the Missouri).
The Plaza Theatre began its life as the Lyric Theatre and was open prior to 1926. It was renamed the Liberty Theatre in 1928. It became the Plaza Theatre in 1933. This theatre should AKA’s Lyric Theatre & Liberty Theatre.
Jerry Alexander, there was another theatre on Finney at Pendleton called the Venus Theatre. It was listed as open prior to 1926 and closed in 1934. Do you have any information on the Venus Theatre?
There was another theatre in Kinloch prior to this called the Harlem Theatre that seated 200. Anyone have any info on the Harlem? The Lincoln would have been located between Airport Road and Interstate 70 if it was located in Kinloch.
This theatre goes back to prior to 1925 when it was known as the Lyric Theatre. The theatre was wired for sound in 1931. It was renamed the Melba in 1932 when it seated 220. In 1940 a new theatre was built on the site and was opened as the New Melba Theatre seating 375. The theatre was reseated in 1947 to 325 and then being known as just the Melba Theatre, the New was dropped. The Melba was still listed as open in the early-1960’s.
This theatre was originally scheduled to be an Alamo Drafthouse. The developer was forclosed on and a new developer purchased the project in 2010, in 2012 it was announced that Cinemark would operate the unfinished project when it was completed as their Movie Bistro.
This cinema has made the conversion to digital projection with 3D capailities.
