There is a 1910 photo of the Peerless Theatre’s entrance on this WorthPoint listing, but it won’t enlarge enough to be clear if it were uploaded here. It’s a Real Photo post card, so another copy might turn up on another auction site someday. The accompanying text gives the operating years as 1907 to 1913, contradicting the Landmark Society’s newsletter dates of 1907-1917.
I’ve added a recent picture I took a few weeks ago.
Looks like you’ve named it. Thanks!
The December, 2020 issue of The Inkwell, billing itself as “A Newsletter for Friends of the Bradford Landmark Society” (PDF here) included a list of Bradford’s theaters, and says that a house called the Peerless Theatre operated at 115 Main Street from 1907 to 1917. I’ve found the Peerless mentioned in trade journals in 1912, but it was not listed in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory, though that publication is known for its frequent omissions.
