The 1913 Sanborn shows two theatres in the same block. This one, nearer the corner with Union Street, is likewise in a narrow two-story brick building. The 1906 map shows a photographer operating out of a tiny wooden shack on this lot.
Likely also falling victim to the much grander Labor Temple, this building was a saloon by 1921. The street number is a guess. The building on the corner is 100. There was never anything built on the intervening lot, but this may be anything between 102 and 110.
After sitting derelict for many years, this theater and the building to the east were demolished sometime around 2023-24.

For research/general interest, on maps up to 1913, Main is also known as Alton.
It appears that this theatre and the building attached to it on the east are both gone. So its status should be changed to “demolished”.
