Greenville also had a short-lived Pastime Theatre. The Pastime opened during either the final week of March 1911 or the first week of April 1911 and it probably closed several years later.
The Mecca is mentioned in the July 10, 1926 issue of Motion Picture News and in the July 12 issue of Film Daily that same year. Both items noted that the Mecca was operating only one day a week. As it wasn’t listed in the 1926 FDY it probably opened that year, but after the yearbook went to press.
The Pitts Theatre was mentioned in the March 15, 1925 issue of Film Daily, which said that the house had just been sold to J. Jourdaine. So far I’ve been unable to find any mentions of the Lillian Theatre.
This might be the Pitts, or the Lillian.
So we need to add the Lillian, Pitts and Mecca. When I did a Google search on the Mecca there is Supreme Court testimony regarding it and also Crescent and Rockwood Theatres in Greenville. It makes your head spin to read it. Also references theatres in Central City, KY and several locations in Tennessee.
This was possibly a segregated theater, given notes on older maps of this part of town.
