Trade journals from 1913 and 1914 mention a W. C. Eddy of Marengo who was secretary of the Iowa Motion Picture Exhibitors' League, and the July 4, 1914 issue of The Billboard even devoted a large part of a page to a letter he wrote to them regarding the evils of censorship, but not once have I found the name of his theater mentioned. The only theater name connected with Marengo I’ve found in the trades is the Strand, and that never before 1940.
