The Plaza Theatre was located in the downtown area of Independence on West Lexington Avenue at Main Street. I could find no time line on the theatre but the building is in use today as a photo studio.

The Plaza might be the theater mentioned in this item from the January 2, 1924, issue of The Film Daily: “Independence, Mo. — Work has begun on the new theater on Lexington St. A. E. Elliot is behind the project.”

Although it was published more than a year earlier, this item from the August 3, 1922, issue of Manufacturers Record also might be about the Plaza:

“Mo., Independence—Elliott Theater Corp., A. E. Elliott, Prest., Grand Ave., Kansas City, will erect $65,000 motion-picture theater; 2 stories and basement; 40x164 ft.; brick and terra cotta; stone trim; to seat 1200; R. E. Peden Co., Archt, 945 New York Life Bldg., Kansas City.”
There are no theaters on Lexington Avenue but the Plaza, and satellite views show its building to be about 40x164 feet.
