July 12th, 1917 grand opening ad in photo section.
The Paris originally opened in 1913. The Decatur Public Library has this photo of 1234 E. Eldorado Street in 1914, the caption on which says it was the location of Dan Higgins' Theatre. The date is confirmed by an item in the January 24, 1914 issue of Moving Picture World which says that “Dan Higgins opened his new moving picture theater, the Paris, at Decatur, on Christmas Eve.” The 1917 ad must have been for a re-opening.
