This October 8, 1939 Boxoffice item suggests rather extensive alterations (early October to late December) for the Daw Theatre:

“Work has started on the new theatre in Tappahannock to be operated by the Daw Corp. Edward F. Sinnott of Richmond is architect. The 550-seat house, expected to be ready for Christmas week, will be managed by R. B. Wallace.”

I thought I had noticed that TITANIC was the last film.
