From The Show World, October 22, 1910: “L. P. Priessman, president of the Comet Amusement Company of Creston, Iowa, which operates houses at Red Oak, Alba and Creston, will open a new theater at Creston, November 7. All of the Comet houses are booked by the W. V. M. A..”

As the house at 211 W. Adams was in operation by 1907, the 1910 project must have been another theater, but I’ve been unable to determine which one. Perhaps it was the unidentified predecessor to the Uptown, just down the block from the Comet.
