The first listing I found for the Sun Theatre was in 1937 with seating at that time listed as 256. The building now houses AJ’S Grocery
Motion Picture Herald, May 1, 1954: “Two long-dark Iowa theatres have reopened … The Sun, owned by Fred Bullen, reopened on Easter Sunday.”
The Sun Theatre at Woodward, Iowa had installed new projection and sound equipment, according to an item in <em<Boxoffice of October 16, 1948. Improvements scheduled for the near future by owner Lorena Hanson included a new canopy, new carpeting, new lighting throughout the building, and the addition of 30 more seats on each side of the balcony.
