There was a listing for the “Music Hall or Opera House, National Bank Bldg., Main Street” in the 1914-1915 AMPD. The only other house listed at Keyser was called the Pickwick, which might have been an earlier name for the Liberty Theatre. The National Bank Building was built at the corner of Main and Center streets in 1888, with a hall on the top floor.
The Music Hall, managed by J. T. Carskadon, is listed in the 1900-1901 Cahn guide with 800 seats. The building suffered a major fire in February, 1919, but the theater was back in operation by the early 1920s, when trade journals published many capsule movie reviews by an N. R. Carskadon, manager of the house.
