@DavidZornig: Sorry you had to wait for a late response here but it was mocked up as the Regent Theatre for “That Thing You Do!” (1996), where Old Towne Orange stood in for 1964 Erie, Pennsylvania. In the photo you shared, the adjacent building was adorned with a Woolworth sign – also a prop created for the film.

Appears to have still been open in 1983, when “Ocean Fever” played there. Photo added. Patron’s wardrobes suggest early `80s.

DavidZornig commented about Cornes Theatre on May 30, 2021 at 1:22 pm

Image & description added credit Farmersville Historical Society. “The Cornes Theater opened in Farmersville July 16, 1925 with a formal dedication. It began with the Lions Club Orchestra giving a musical program. Everyone was welcomed by Mayor H.L. Hendrix. After Rev. J. C. Marshall spoke on “Social and Moral Value of the Motion Picture”, J. F. Kilpatrick told of “The Educational Value of the Motion Pictures”. The first movie was D. W. Griffith’s great historical drama “America” starring Lionel Barrymore, Neil Hamilton and Carol Dempster.”

Update: Concord Theater, 1966. The Concord was located on the south side of Emma Avenue near the present-day parking lot where Coffee and Cars is held. (203 Emma Avenue) The Concord opened in 1927 with seating for 650 (the seats were walnut-finished folding chairs bolted to the floor), a pipe organ, and lighted stage. The first talking motion picture to come to Springdale was shown there in 1929. The Concord had seen better days by the time this photo was taken. After standing vacant for several years, in 1968, the building became home to the Springdale Fine Arts Center, the forerunner of today’s Arts Center of the Ozarks. The Arts Center moved out in 1971 and the building was torn down soon after.
