Saw “Letters From Home” on May 27, 2018. Uploaded several new photos of the theater and booth.
Here is another PDF with the NRHP registration form for the Lincoln Theatre. It includes floor plans and a longitudinal section of the auditorium.
This PDF of the June 27, 1929, issue of The Smyth County News contains several pages with items pertaining to the Lincoln Theatre, which was scheduled to open on July 1.
The July 13, 1929, issue of Motion Picture News had this announcement: “R. W. Sherrill has a lease on the Lincoln, Marion, Va., opened July 1, and is operating it.”
