If this is looking North on Main street, then this theater later became the Capitol Theater and, along with the Majestic, was a "second-run" theater, while the Butler and Penn were "first-run" theaters. During the early 1950's the Capitol and Majestic got into a price war, I could go to one of these, and for just 10 cents, watch 5 cartoons, a serial, and two westerns!

This building stood until a few ago after the Redevelopment authorities plan to restore the building were abandoned.
I remember my grandmother used to go see silent movies here.
