The Plaza Theatre opened in 1916. Here is an announcement from the January 8 issue of The Moving Picture World that year:

“SIOUX CITY. IOWA.— Plans have been filed for the new Plaza theater in Sioux City which St. Elmo Bateman of Waterloo is promoting. A wholesale liquor house is to be transformed at a cost of $35,000. It will contain a pipe organ, the only one in a Sioux City photoplay house.”

The Plaza Theatre was in operation by 1919, when it was mentioned in The Moving Picture World.
