The Joplin 6 is located on East 7th St at S. Michigan. It was opened as a first run house by Hollywood Theatres but is now part of the Wallace Theatre Chain.
The front of the theatre was very impressive when it first opened with the front built out from the theatre building. It has a flat section in the middle with the theatre name in neon and flat attration panels on each side.
It has a nice lobby but the auditoriums are small and cramped. The theatre was a little run down the last time I was there. When the Hollywood Northstar 14 opened the Joplin 6 was religated to a sub run discount policy.

The last few times (2006) I have attended this theater it seemed as if things were getting better. It was cleaner and better-maintained than I had seen it in several years, and the staff seemed much more competent than in recent years as well.
In 2002-2005 there were rumors of rodent infestation and definite signs of decline, such as leaking ceiling tiles and large stains on the carpet. The stains remain. These problems seem mainly resigned to the lobby as the auditoriums seemed to be in decent condition (though somewhat unclean). I find it somewhat sad that this theater has declined so rapidly. A decade ago it was quite a showpiece with its mirrored fountain and immaculate bathrooms (now ridden with grafitti).
Demolished, in early 2009
