This was apparently known as the Bridgewater for the first year of its existence. Early Yearbook entries give a capacity of 250, which must have been reduced.

The address supplied was bogus. There is no Main St. 204 N Main Ave is a grocery store, which is pretty old. The map has ended up in Dolton, down the road. I think this has been demolished, wherever it was. In the streetview from 2011 there’s nothing that looks like a theater.

The Sioux Falls SD Argus-Leader reported on April 15, 1948: “Arden G. Davidson, Sioux Falls, former movie projectionist at Marion and Hartford, has announced that he has purchased the Nancy theatre at Bridgewater. He will take possession on May 1.”

Davidson had advertised in March 1948 for a theater to purchase. He would build the Twilite Drive-In in Lennox SD in 1949.

The Nancy Theatre was located at 204 Main St. There isn’t much left of the theatre. No roof and half a wall is gone.
