The Dixie Theatre launched October 17, 1913. Under new operators, the theatre became the Artcraft Theatre operating as a silent theatre into 1931. On July 6, 1931, the theatre was offered at auction in a Sherriff’s Sale. On November 20, 1933, L.C. Worthington reopened the venue as the Eutaw Theatre now with sound films.
Roth Hook took on the theatre operating it until 1947 when he built the Hook Theatre. The two co-existed for just two months when the Hook closed with promises to re-open in the Fall. The theatre’s final showings were on June 14, 1947 with a double feature of “Flaming Bullets” and “The Scarlet Horesman”. The facility was entirely gutted and received a glass front becoming the Margaret Shop on Prairie Avenue.
