Opening ad as the Magic Theater on May 17, 1907 in photos.
Just to firm up the dates a bit, the Iris is listed in the 1926 Yearbook.
Note that the statement about the projection room is wrong. Nothing is shown on the 1909 map, and the 1915 map (and all subsequent) shows a small external structure on the rear wall which must have been the projection booth.
In addition, there is some missing history. The 1922 map shows a store here, but the theater returns on the 1929 map.
Either the opening date is wrong, or this opened under another name. The theater is shown on the August 1909 Sanborn. The site is a vacant lot on the 1905 map.
