Additional Info
Nearby Theaters
This theater appears on the 1914 Sanborn. It was located in a low and wide one story brick building, not the classic upstairs small town opera house. The building does not appear on the 1908 map.
This theater likely showed films from the beginning. It survived until August 1927 when it was demolished. It was replaced by another theater on the south side of the square.
The location was a bit north of the little prefab shed building there now.

The August 20, 1927 issue of Movie Age said that “[t]he old Opera House at Sidney, Iowa, which has been used lately as a picture house is being torn down.” The Opera House might have gotten a reprieve, as it is listed one last time in the 1929 FDY, though this could easily be one of the FDY’s frequent errors.
Thanks Joe. As long as they listed it as closed, they were technically correct!
