I recently purchased a Postal Cover dated 1915 and addressed to a Mr John Smith at the Bon Ton Theater in Mattawamkeag Me

Given how small Mattawamkeag is, and the opening year of 1910 cited in the MGM report, I think it’s possible that the Cameo was the same house that operated earlier as the Bon Ton Theatre, though the Cinema Data Project gives them two different pages (Cameo and Bon Ton.)
