Not nice!
Hey, I can’t help it if you’re a little slow.
I’m on cruise control. When I start posting all of the 70,000 plus theater related Flickr photos, one at a time, we’ll see who the slow one is. :P
See if you can find a picture of the Rio at 118 Central SW in Albuquerque, or the Sushi King, which is there now. I was trying to navigate through the Flicker deal but I am hopelessly outclassed by the master.
The address for the King Theatre is 115 East Benton Avenue.

Here is an April 1959 item from the Monroe County News:
Albia will again be one of the first towns in the country to see a motion picture when “Alias Jesse James” receives its Midwest premier showing starting Thursday at the King Theater. The film, a western comedy, stars Bob Hope and Rhonda Fleming. The plot develops after Hope sells Jesse James a life insurance policy and then tries to keep him alive.
This theatre is open and listed as the Albia Theatre. It should have AKA’s of the Barbary Coast Opera House, Barbary Coast Theatre and then the King. Open showing first run attractions on Fri., Sat., & Sun.
