Historic Hancock County: An Illustrated History, by Paulette J. Weise, says that the Harris Theatre opened in 1906 as the Majestic Theatre.

The Harris Theatre opened in the late 1920’s. It is listed in the Film Daily Yearbook 1941 with a seating capacity of 1,010 and the operator was Warner Bros. Circuit Management Corp. In the 1943 edition the listing shows 1,000 seats and by 1950 it has a seating capacity of 850 given, still under the Warner Bros. Theatre’s operation.

The Harris Theatre was demolished in the late 1970’s.
