The Majestic Theatre was listed at 215 S. Pruett Street in the 1916 Paragould City Directory. There was also a Majestic Air Dome at 120 W. Emerson Street, which was probably the site where the Capitol Theatre was later built. Block (or Black) & Whitsitt were the proprietors of both theaters. They also operated the Grand Theatre at 218 S. Pruett.

The February 24, 1915 issue of The Insurance Press reported a fire causing $5,700 damage at the Majestic Theatre in Paragould. That’s the earliest mention of the Majestic I’ve found so far.
