Located on Batesville’s Public Square. The Batesville Theatre suffered damage in a 1937 fire. It was rebuilt and reopened again named Batesville Theatre. The theatre has a Streamline Moderne style. It was later re-named Eurreka Theatre and ended its days as an adult movie theatre named Eureka Cinema from November 23, 1973. It closed with the adult animated feature “Fritz the Cat”. It is now a bar and grill with live music.

A 1986 view of the Eureka Theater in Batesville and an enlarged view here.
The August 25, 1936 fire reshaped downtown when the Batesville Panolian newspaper dating back to 1881 blaze took down the Batesville Theatre, and the Farmers' Grocery Store. It reopened as the Batesville Theatre again thanks to the local merchants who rebuilt in place. The theatre survived long enough to become the Eureka Theatre and then the Eureka Cinema on Nov. 23, 1973. Local officials brought obscenity charges against the Eureka Theatre for animated adult feature, “Fritz, the Cat.” A specious charge.
