A 1909 Polk business directory lists an Idle Hour Theatre, Maher & Hanson, proprietors, at Elk Point.

This building could have been the location of one of the three theaters listed at Elk Point in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory. They were called the Gem, the Lyric and the Yale. The Gem and Yale were gone by early 1915, but the Lyric was at least still standing, though closed, and had been joined by the Florence Theatre, which of course might have been a new name for one of the other two houses.
