On February 29, 1944, both the Bentley Theatre and the hotel next to it were destroyed by a fire, and the fire also killed a man as well. Coroner Archie Craft later identified the only death as 24-year-old Wardell Robbins of Neon.
Uploaded a photo of the Bentley (not sure which one), a 1938 ad from The Mountain Eagle and the February 1947 announcement of the fire which wiped out the, then, Neon, and the entire block from The Mountain Eagle.
