Thanks for finding that information! It looks like the theater had re-closed by 1926, since it’s not in that yearbook. That just leaves the Iowa to list, if we can figure out where it was.
The Grand Photoplay Theatre of West Liberty, Iowa was mentioned in the November 9, 1918 issue of Motion Picture News. A W. H. Heath was the manager. The name of the house had shrunk a bit by the time of this item appearing in the March 3, 1923 Moving Picture World: “WEST LIBERTY, IA.—Glenn Miller, of Muscatine, has purchased and reopened Grand Photo Theatre.”
A letter from W. Glenn Miller was published in the March 29, 1924 Exhibitors Herald, but by then he was running the Strand Theatre in West Liberty.
