The Dreamland Theatre was opened on September 15, 1909. It became the Liberty Theatre on September 28, 1917. Many theatres in the Griffith Bros. Circuit were built inside existing retail space. The Rex Theatre was a prime example, installed inside the old Minton Building, there were absolutely no frills or extras. The Rex Theatre had opened by 1931.
It was listed as closed by 1941. In 2017 it is operating as the Clinton Event Center.
