An article in the June 14, 1976 issue of The Logan Daily News said that the Ruble Theatre building, by then converted into offices for a Savings & Loan Association, was on North Market Street. The February 23, 1960 issue of the News had reported on the sale of the building and the proposed conversion for a bank, with offices upstairs in space which had previously been the Ruble Hotel.

From the description of the project and its location I’d say there’s a very strong probability that the Rubble Theatre was in the building now occupied by the Century National Bank, at 61 N. Market Street.

The announcement that Chakeres Theatres had bought the lease on the Ruble Theatre was made on November 22, 1941. Though the Ruble Theatre was not listed in the FDY prior to 1927, it was being mentioned in the daily newspaper from nearby Athens, Ohio, the Athens Messenger at least as early as May, 1925.
