This simple theatre appears to have opened in 1939. It was a very basic plastered box, with a wooden ticket booth in the center of the recessed entry.
The theatre was still open in 1946, but seems to have closed by 1951. It disappears from listings, although it is shown as closed in the 1956 Yearbook. Film showings seem to have moved to the high school auditorium.
The building seems to have been left vacant. It moldered away in the sleepy little downtown until sometime after 2010, when it seems to have been used for storage by a hardware store. The entry was visible until at least 2018, but is now covered by a sloppy plywood sliding door. The interior is likely long gone.

It seems the address may originally have been 108, but 110 is now two or three doors south.
