This theater opened on the second floor of the Town Hall/Post Office building by June 1909. The building had been constructed in 1902. It appears on the 1921 Sanborn. The theater is not shown on the 1913 map, and Chase City does not appear in the 1914-15 AMPD.
Later maps are not available online. It’s possible that this was the 600 seat Cozy Theater listed in the 1926 Yearbook. The building today is in very poor condition, and vacant. A cheap new roof installed by 2018 destroyed a lot of the character.

A second floor theater managed by an R. D. Patterson was listed at Chase City in the 1912-1913 Cahn guide, but no name was provided. An “Images of America” series book has a photo of the Town Hall and the caption mentions the theater, calling it the Opera House. It says that in June, 1909 it was leased to a Mr. Stearms who presented movies one or two nights a week. It also says that in 1920 (but perhaps 1916?) it was leased to C. E. Geoghegan for use as a movie house until the one he was building was completed.
