This theatre opened sometime after 1909, and appears on the muddled 1937-50 update to an earlier Sanborn.
It was located in a very old two story brick commercial block constructed well before 1886 up by the railroad. The theatre was located in the second of five storefronts counting from the north. The façade is decorated by small lightbulbs mirroring the arched doorways below. A small ticket window is located in the center.
The theatre remains in operation on the 1955 map. The blurry 2007 street view shows it painted up as it must have looked, but it is today a gym.

The 1909 map shows this space as a store. It was the southern half of the Railroad Store, which offered ‘Dry Goods, Clothing, Shoes, Hats, Carpets and Bargains’.
