Google Streetview shows a building at 410 Main Street that looks like a former theatre.

Trolleyguy The Columbia and adjacent buildings were demolished in 1962 and replaced by the Rising Sun State Bank. I have uploaded a newspaper photo from July 26, 1962 announcing this.

The bank has changed hands a number of times but it is listed as either 401 or 405. Therefore I believe the street number was set up incorrectly.
