Here are two exterior photos from January of 1942:

Photo2
This is an interior view of the Paramount.
This photo claims to be from the 1920s. It gives the location as the 500 block of Main Street.
The year given for this photo is 1980. The Paramount appears to be closed at the time.
“Fast and Loose”, the movie advertised on the marquee in the exterior shot, came out in 1930.
