The Pelican Theatre opened in February 1935. The earlier Homer Theatre had opened in January 1930 but ceased regular operations on Christmas Day 1932. It reopened intermittently between 1933 and 1934, with film programs occasionally presented by local civic boosters.
The Homer Theatre occupied the same building as the earlier Brownie Theatre, which had operated the venue until 1929 as part of the Brownie theatre circuit. Prior to that, the theatre had been known as the Woodbine Theatre; it was purchased, renovated, and reopened as the Brownie in summer 1923.
Mary Duncan is featured in both 4 Devils and in The Pendleton Roundup.
Opened before April 10, 1920, though I cannot find any evidence they exhibited motion pictures before that date.
