The front of this unusually named theater was blown off in a February 1925 explosion, which followed a dispute over non-union employees. The owner of the theater at that time was Earl H. Roraback.
It must have been repaired as in the 1941 & 1943 editions of Motion Picture Yearbook it is listed with a seating capacity of 350, but ‘Closed’.

The World in Motion Theatre is one of about 200 satisfied customers listed in a late 1920’s ad for Reproduco Pipe Organs. Reproduco’s market was smaller theatres so Ken’s mention of 350 seats sounds exactly right.
The front of the building looks it had caught on fire!
