The Trainor Opera House was on W. 3rd Street. It ran movies for awhile, I don’t know for how long. It burnt down in 1926. It was replaced by the State Theater which was demolished in 1981. The Wayne Theater is definitely still open but as a very nondescript twin.
There was a house on the site of the Wayne Theater that was torn down in 1920. The theater was built shortly after that. I think it was originally a live theater. I don’t know when it was twinned because I moved away from Greenville in 1970. So sad to see it’s just a shadow of its former self.
The National Theater, according to a 1910 Greenville directory, was about 3 blocks north of the Wayne. The State Theater was actually on 3rd Street, about a half block off Broadway.
I saw many movies in both the Wayne and the State.
