The Alpine Theatre did survive a threat when a 29-year-old local man planned to commit arson at the Alpine in 1957. This came after he burglarized the Alpine at the same time.
This item from the October 5, 1936 issue of Motion Picture Daily might reveal the origin of the Alpine: “The Liberty Amusement Co., Wellsville, has resumed work on the construction of a house at Salineville which was started last spring. It will have 400 seats.”
Earlier, movies had been among the entertainments presented by Glaubner’s Opera House, an 1888 venue that burned to the ground on June 28, 1931. It had been the town’s only theater, and Mr. Glaubner did not return to exhibition. His death notice in a 1940 issue of Boxoffice said he had operated the house for 25 years before his retirement in 1931, so 1916? The 1914-1915 AMPD lists only a house called the Theatorium at Salineville, which might have been only a storefront nickelodeon.
An August 1, 1958 item also in Motion Picture Daily mentioned the Valley Theatre at Salinevile, which may have been a later aka for the Alpine.
