The Dixie Airdome opened April 2, 1910 with the films purportedly coming directly from St. Louis' Orpheum Theatre. The success of the Dixie Airdome led to the creation of a brick and mortar Dixie Theatre in 1911 in downtown Caruthersville, Missouri by Taylor & Ward. The theatre had a Powers #6 Camergraph and aluminum screen and opened in December of 1911 with, “Struck Gold”.
The silent-era Dixie Theatre discontinued regular movie operations in July of 1919. But the venue was used for live events including a speech by the Missouri governor-elect in 1920 and boxing matches.
