The Princess was a silent theatre in 1921 and had a brief transition to sound films closing in 1930. It reopened as a live and silent theatre in 1931 before closing again in June of 1931. Cecil Davis took on the venue equipping with sound and relaunching on on August 25, 1933 as the Cement Theatre beginning with “The Life of Jimmy Dolan” with Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. The Cement Theatre went out of business briefly in 1934 and cracked in January of 1935.
Jack and J.A. Weiss took on the former Cement / Princess venue naming it the Holly Theatre beginning with showtimes on October 19, 1935 of Zasu Pitts in “Hot Tips.” Harry F. Smith next bought the Holly Theatre on January 26, 1939 renaming it as Harry’s Theatre. Harry’s ran through the end of May of 1945. In May of 1946, Jesse Sloan took on the venue re-renaming it as the Cement Theatre. In 1953, it appears to have been renamed once again - this time as the Tower Theatre.
