The address and some of the other information are wrong. The 1916 map shows only one theater, on the no longer extant Court (Street?). Unless there has been renumbering, 118 was a house on the corner, and is now an empty lot. Even if the current 116 was also 118, the 1916 map shows it as a dry goods store.

There was an opera house in a 2 story building across from the courthouse, but no mention is made of movies. Address would have been on the odd side of the 100 block of S Main. It was constructed by 1884. The 2008 streetview shows the butchered remains of the ground floor, but the building has since been demolished.

I think this theater was on the corner with E Mulberry St, in which case it has been demolished. The July 1916 Sanborn shows a house on that lot, so it was opened sometime after that.
