I had asked about the Leland, but not heard back. I’ll create a listing. I have a lousy picture from a very gray day.

The only early mention of a theater in Troy I’ve been able to find in the trade journals is on a list of exhibitors recently visiting Kansas City, from the January 1, 1927 issue of Moving Picture World, which includes “C. W. Norman, Leland Theatre, Troy, Kas.” This was not the Airdome, as the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory lists a Leland Opera House at Troy, which is also listed in FDYs in 1926 and 1929. This appears to have been Troy’s main movie theater of the period. In 1950 Troy had a house called the LaBelle Theatre, mentioned in the April 8 issue of Boxoffice, and I don’t think it was an aka for the Opera House.
