Army you are correct, when you map 304 it comes up with the theatre. So the address needs to be changed to 304 S. Sandusky Ave.
The address of this theater cannot be 104 S. Sandusky Avenue. It must be 302-304 South Sandusky Avenue, zoom in to my photo.

Wilkommen refers to the Bratwurst Festival, third weekend of August.
Bucyrus (Bu-Cy-rus) is combination of beautiful and Cyrus the Great.
Located in Crawford County Ohio, named after Col William Crawford.
The Bucyrus Little Theatre on Songer puts on plays and musicals.
The Bucyrus Comm Theatre is 3 blocks south of the Square on OH Rt 4.
I just met the man who owned it for many years. He apparently purchased it 30 years ago, and was the person who “twinned” it, by closing in the balcony and building a wall down the middle of the auditorium. At the same time, the projection equipment was moved to the main floor.
Nothing sadder than a shuttered theater with a decaying marquee
I did find and address of 104 S. Sandusky Ave. at the square.
The above comment is an error, that must be a different theatre altogether. But I did find another article with some pictures and an update on the theatre.

Somewhere along the line this theatre was converted to a two screen. Look at the marquee.
I don’t know if this theater had another name. The only other name that I can find it listed as is Schine’s Bucyrus in 1940 with 1,100 seats. Its difficult to find more information without an exact address.
The offset name on the painted marquee sure looks out of place. Was it always called the Bucyrus? Any clue as to the origin of that name?
Wonder if any older photos exist that show the marquee in some earlier incarnations. It looks as if it was built for a more stately moniker.
Here is another photo.
This is another recent photo.
It appears that the Bucyrus has been purchased by a 501c3 corp. with the intention of restoring for use as a community theatre. The full article is here: View link
It said “Wilkommen”, which is welcome in German. Maybe they were having a German film festival.
Here is a photo of the marquee.
Status should be Closed. This is a recent photo of the Bucyrus Theater building.
