Here is the only trade journal reference to the Electric I’ve been able to unearth so far, from the November 10, 1917 Moving Picture World: “Lakin, Kan.—Frank Weber has been making some improvements in the Electric theater.”
This entry is a bit garbled, and could use a re-write to drop the irrelevant sentences about a different theater. I assume this theater and the other were somewhere on Main St. There is almost nothing on the side streets. It’s possible one or both buildings are still there.
Western Kansas is a black hole. There are almost no Sanborn maps of any towns, and the KHRI coverage is very poor. If it’s not the high school or the courthouse, it doesn’t have an entry.
