Picture 1: On the northwest corner of Fourth and Main in Neodesha, Kansas, 1916 was the Crescent Theatre owned by Cliff and Willis Robinson. It was the leading theatre in it’s time, down the street 1 ½ blocks on Main was the Princess Theatre, owned by Doc Pingrey and Fred Williams. Both movie houses packed in the crowds on Saturday afternoons. Picture 2: The recessed front of the Crescent Theatre in the old Hubbell Brothers building at Fourth and Main, as it appeared at the end of the horse and buggy era, 1915.
