The Wauna Theatre was the original name before it was renamed the Cameo Theatre on May 15, 1936. The Leo Theatre was a separate theater that closed in the early-1920s.
As of 1926, the only movie theater operating in town was the C.T. Dewey’s Theatre. Dewey would later open a newer theater on March 7, 1927 with Reginald Denny in “Take It From Me” (unknown if extras added) as the C.T. Dewey’s New Theatre, which I think is most likely where it came from. I cannot find any information on when the Dewey’s was renamed the Wauna.
Opened by Cinecom on Christmas Day 1970 with “Tora! Tora! Tora!”, featuring a capacity of 599 seats, RCA sound system, and Xenon lamp projection. It was later operated by ABC Southeastern Theatres.
Once operated by ABC Southeastern Theatres. And correction, this was never once operated by Plitt nor Cineplex Odeon. It was Stewart & Everett that operated the Riverside before Carmike took over the theater in 1986.
Once operated by ABC Southeastern Theatres, later by Plitt Theatres, and briefly operated by Cineplex Odeon before Carmike took it over on January 9, 1987.
Still open in 1956.
Appears operational in the 1973 aerial view, but the screen was gone by 1981.

This operated as early as March 1915, but I cannot confirm the opening date at this time, due to pre-1915 editions of The Intelligencer being missing.
Opened in either late-February or early-March 1969.
