The Elm Theater was in operation by 1922, being mentioned in both the April 3 and April 20 issues of The Kentucky Post. An article about the construction of the new Ludlow Theatre appeared in Showmen’s Trade Review of October 13, 1945, saying that the new house “…will be built for Louis Wiethe and Harry Hilling. Hilling is the operator of the existing Ludlow Theatre which will be replaced by the new structure.” The 1945 FDY lists only the the Elm Theatre at Ludlow, so it must have been the one being replaced by the new house, which opened January 4, 1947. The 1914-1915 AMPD lists only the Wilma Theatre, 2 Elm Street, at Ludlow, so the Elm must have opened later.
