This theater is being renovated. Markay Theater.
Also found this:
The month of October, 1930, proved to be a big month in the history of Jackson for new and exciting entertainment as it was the weekend before the National Eisteddfod that the Markay Theatre opened for the first time, having as its initial attraction “Playboy In Paris” with Maurice Chevalier.
Thanks for the information. Status should be changed to closed/renovating.
The theater address could be 269-271 East Main Street because the cultural commission or whatever their called, is located at 20 East Broad St so its not their address given on that web page.
According to this link the address is 269 East Main Street.
