Here’s a YouTube video featuring (starting about 2:30 in) a couple of shots of a former movie house in the Lyons district of Clinton, Iowa. I don’t think it’s listed at Cinema Treasures. Does anyone recognize it? I think it might currently be a tavern called Club 110, at 110 Main Avenue, but I’ve never been to Clinton so I can’t be sure.

There was a 450 seat Lyons Theater operating in the 1940s in Clinton, Iowa. I can’t tell you if its the same building as the one in the YouTube video.

I’m pretty sure this is a mix-up with the Clarion Theatre in Clarion, IA.

My mistake, it should be Clarion, IA. I have the right zip code but listed the wrong city.

The two Clarions need to be combined. /theaters/18203/
