Hey, I can’t help it if you’re a little slow.
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.
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.

Now operating as the King Opera House
Even though the theatre is now a mixed use venue they are still showing first run movies. Their most current attraction was “The Book Of Life”.
