The January 24, 1929 issue of Film Daily reported that the Majestic Theatre in El Dorado was being remodeled. The item was actually about the old Rialto Theatre which was being demolished to make way for its replacement, and the item noted that the Rialto’s equipment was being moved to the Majestic. Both projects were being carried out for the Arkansas Amusement Company. Multiple theater chains had “Arkansas Amusement” in their names at that time. The one interested in El Dorado was owned in part by M. A. Lightman, and as of September 23, 1927 had had 25 houses operating in the state, according to that day’s issue of Film Daily.

There is a house called the Majestic Theater listed at El Dorado in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory, but the address and seating capacity are not given.
