The October 1, 1938 issue of Boxoffice published this item “from the Boxoffice files,” dated September 23, 1924: “Mark C. Read has taken over the Jefferson at Coffeyville, Kas., which he will convert from a road show to an exclusive motion picture house.” (I originally posted this comment with a typo reading 1929 instead of 1924. It became a movie house in 1924. I’m sorry for any confusion this caused.)
Address is garbled in the AMPD listing. This was at 203-205 W 9th. The theater was still open in 1923. Later maps not available online, but this is now just one of the many surface parking lots in a blighted downtown.
The Jefferson Theatre was built in 1906 by opera house promoter George H. Johnston. John Eberson may have still been working with him at this time.
