From what I found this theatre opened as the Andrews Theatre. See photo in gallery.
Opened as the Andrews Theatre on Dec. 21, 1916. It was under the management of B.A. Hoffman. The building was 60' wide and 100' long. The auditorium seated 496 in mahogany upholstered chairs. The was theee chandeliers from the ceiling above the side aisles.

Here is an item about the Andrews Theatre form the August 12, 1916, issue of The Moving Picture World:In June, 1936, architect Victor A.
