“The Lynch Theater, pictured on August 6,1920, showed movies for residents to enjoy. Alfred Lash LaRue, a movie star in westerns from the 1940s and 50s visited Lynch’s theater. LaRue taught Harrison Ford how to use a bullwhip for the Indiana Jones movies.”
Happened to run across this on a search.
Per page 18 in the below link.
“Somewhere around 1928 we had the first sound movie in Lakeville at the Stuart Theater. I went with Mother and Dad to see (and hear) Al Jolson in The Jazz Singer. The movie was on conventional film, but the sound wasn’t on a sound track on the film the way it is now. It was on a Victrola record that was supposed to synchronize with the movie – it didn’t. I used to go to the movies there until the Stuart was destroyed in the disastrous fire at Christmas time.” John Rudd
Address was 2032 W. Cumberland Avenue, State Hwy 74 today.
West Cumberland Avenue turns into State Hwy 74 at 21st Street.
A medical clinic tied to Middlesboro ARH Hospital now stands on the former theatre site.

Per Jim Foster, accompanied a 1937 photo I just added:
“Television was still in its infancy in 1932, so neighborhood theaters like the Texas Theatre on Jefferson Street in Oak Cliff, which opened in 1931, were commonplace. It was the first theater in Dallas to feature air conditioning and being built later than most of the movie houses of the 1920s boom, had the latest projection facilities.
The original owner was a company belonging to Howard Hughes. A nickel would buy an afternoon or an evening’s entertainment in a comfortable, air-conditioned environment."
Name was changed to Cine Ritz Theatre when it began showing Spanish language films, year unknown.
Today it houses Mision Cristiana ELIM Church.
Street view shows a new facade over the original, and the marquee is gone.
