This theater with its striking Moderne-style facade, located on Main Street, opened as a single screen house named the New Carmi Theatre in 1940, but later was divided into three screens.

Various issues of Boxoffice through the year 1939 reported on the progress of Frank Barnes' new theater at Carmi. I haven’t found the opening date, but the sound system had been installed by November 11, 1939, so the house must have been completed later that year or very early in 1940. The architect for the project was Oliver W. Stiegemeyer.
Just saw “Muppets” here the other day. Small screens, but great atmosphere! Owners are apparently looking to sell theater and train new owners.
