Opened in 1914, at a cost of $40,000. Built by George Kempf and Sons. Interior remodeling in 1927. Became part of the
Gammel Chain in 1935. Apparently replaced a storefront theater that was near this site (the Ariel).

Here is a photo of the building. Address given with photo is 185 High Street.
If the Google view is showing the correct address, the theater is gone. Perhaps someone local can confirm this.
If, maybe, I don’t know.
From google street view it looks like it was on the corner of Maple and High St. On the side of Maple that 185 High St should be on is a parking lot and an empty lot. On the other is another empty lot and High Street Deli (at 195 High St). I called the deli and the woman there said she’s lived there for years and there hasn’t been a cinema building around them for a long time and their building wasn’t ever one (only building in the area that looks like it could have been a theatre). Looks like it’s either the empty lot or the parking lot (probably the former since it’s on the odd numbered side of the street) and has been demolished. It’s listed as demolished on CinemaTour.com as well.
