The Dickinson Theatre opened its doors on June 20, 1930 with William Powell in “The Benson Murder Case” along with Paramount News, Screen Song “The Prisoner’s Song”, and a short entitled “Home Edition” with sound installations by RCA Protophone.
It was renamed the Chief Theatre in mid-1936. The theater last had a capacity of 350 seats and closed in late-September 1939 following repairs, which literally became its final closing. During repair after World War II, the building was destroyed by a fire.
The correct address is 217 N. Main Street USA.
209 was a car dealership, pool hall, and other businesses. This photo - https://www.marceline.us/map-of-marceline-history/ - shows the location of the theatre at 217.
