From the early 1900s a postcard image of the Colonial Theater in Willits.
A comment on the Noyo Theatre page says that before the Noyo opened Willits also had a 417-seat house called the Willits Theatre. Could that also have been an aka of the Colonial? If the Colonial only occupied half the width of its building it looks to small to have had 417 seats, but if the auditorium was the full width it might have been big enough.
The theatre was later known as the Majestic Theatre. The building housed the Majestic Hotel in the city.
Add aka: Majestic
For some reason or another the 225 S. Main St. maps to Wood Alley, you have to move up to Main St. and go to the left to find the building.
The caption of this photo from Flickr user Larry McCombs says that the Colonial Theatre was in the space now occupied by a clothing store at 225 S. Main Street. The building was built in 1913 and, in addition to the theater, housed the Post Office.
