I believe this house might have opened in 1939 as the Macon Theatre. The Tennessee news column of the July 8, 1939 issue of Boxoffice said that “[t]he Mason, [sic] a new theater at Lafayette, opened July 4.” Lafayette being such a small town it seems unlikely that two new theaters would have been opened there in the 1930s.

Got ya. Cinema Treasures was having problems with their main frame during the time I was initially entering this information. Thanks for making the correction on the heading.
Still would appreciate any additional information on the Lafayette.

What’s the story? It is listed in the Macon County registry as a commercial theater.
