The Saturday, May 2, 1936, issue of The Film Daily had this item:

“Clanton, Ala. — The New Wadesonian is to be opened Sunday. The house is independently operated.”

The New Wadesonian actually opened its doors on April 15, 1936 with Harold Lloyd in “The Milky Way” along with the short “Byway Highlights” and the Pete Smith Specialty “Audiscopiks”. It was first operated by the father-and-son team of Charles W. Wade and Wade Jr.
