Unfortunately there is not much available on this theatre and what is known is a bit murky. The 1968 edition of IMPA list it under the Chickasaw Amusement Circuit. It is possible that the theatre might have gone under another name earlier on.

If you have any additional information regarding the Bells please update.

The theatre is still standing, but in much need of repair. Its address is 115 E Main St, Bells, TN 38006. Will have a posting of the photo in Feb 2006. The theatre looks to have been built sometime between 1920 and 1945.

The building looked cleaner in this circa 1999 photo.

This theatre should be listed as the Wintergarden Theatre AKA Bells.
Fron the sign on the front door it looks like the theatre is Kinkaid
Studios.
