The Film Daily Yearbook;1950 edition lists the Princess Theatre with a seating capacity of 400.
Building constructed 1886-1893 as a store, still a general store on the 1919 map. Open by 1926 with 250 seats, not sure when it closed.
Opened September 1914, closed summer of 1985, started restoration in 2003. It seems the building dates to 1887.
The July 12, 1931 Film Daily mentioned this house: “Mt. Ayr, Ia.— Will H. Eddy has purchased his second theater, the Princess here.”
I just realized that the opening date of 1914 cannot be right. It is possible that whoever supplied the 1914 date confused this theater with the Crystal.
