Actually, according to The Comet of Johnson City, the Edisonia dates back to as early as 1908 running both movies and vaudeville (which I presume that’s when it opened its doors).

The Criterion Theatre closed for the final time on October 13, 1934 with “Fighting Texan” and “Devil Horse” as its last films, and was erected later that November.

This opened as the Edisonia theatre in 1915 and became the Criterion theatre on May 3rd, 1926.
