50sSNIPES commented about Shannon Theatre on Jan 10, 2026 at 9:29 am

The husband-and-wife team of Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Shannon opened their Shannon Theatre on July 2, 1939 with Robert Young in “Maise” (unknown if extras added). The management also gave a special notice that if the new Shannon wasn’t ready for opening, the film will then show at the nearby Maxon Theatre, but I’m very sure it opened on time. The Shannon was still open in 1965.
