The location given and photo in the overview does not match with my information. Perhaps this was the location of the original (I wasn’t aware it had burned in 1941). I am submitting pictures of the theater from I believe winter 1944-45 (based on the movie showing “The Guest in the House” with Anne Baxter). From at least this time it was located at 102 Main, on the east side of the street about midway between the cross streets of Haywood and St. John, just to the left of the Hilson Chevrolet car dealership (later Capilingers). This is about two blocks north of the address and photo shown on the overview page.

It was still showing pictures in the late 1970’s and was closed by the mid 1980’s. I believe it was torn down in the late 1980’s, perhaps early 1990’s.
