This item is from the October 13, 1932, issue of The Sullivan News:

“A. B. Crowe has built a new theatre on Clark avenue. It is 118 feet long and 40 feet wide. It is occupied by the Meramec Theatre and a room used for other business purposes at one side on the front. The second floor contains a balcony, an office for the theatre manager and two waiting rooms, one for men and one for women. Cost approximately $15,000.”
I don’t see a Clark Avenue on the maps of Sullivan, but there is a Clark Street.

Meramec theater, built and owned by my great-grandfather, A.B. Crowe, was located on North Clark Avenue, next to his large store, Crowe Mercantile. After his death, ownership of the theater transferred to his daughter, Minerva Crowe Hollander. His sons, George and Luther, co-owned and ran the store.
