Very beautiful theatre. I think the Princess Theatre was still in operation through the late-1960’s, and it was once part of the Martin Theatres chain.

Listed in Film Daily Yearbooks from at least 1941 thru 1950.
The Pricess may have had a Reproduco to accompany silent films. These piano/organ units were manufactured by the Operators Piano Company of Chicago, which also made coin-operated automatic pianos.
Thanks Ken Roe.
The Princess Theater is long gone, I’m afraid. It closed in the late 1970’s and was eventually torn down.
I don’t think the address of 202 W. Main Street is correct. As can be seen in the Google Street View, the buildings currently at 202-204 W. Main Street are old, obviously predating the demolition of the theater.
I think the Princess had to have been across the street, at 203 W. Main, where there is now a business called the Java Garden, situated in a small, modern building set back behind an open area.
This photo, taken during a 1963 flood, shows the darkened marquee of the Princess at right. It can be seen that it was on a corner lot, which 203 W. Main is. I can’t find any other locations along Main Street that match the situation of the Princess.
