The Majestic Theatre opened on Saturday, August 30, 1919. It was located at 204 North Court Street next to the new First National Bank building. From the advertisements, it was not clear what was shown on opening day, but the primary advertisements announced a “Paramount Artcraft Special”, a motion picture style show with living models and moving pictures called “That Well Dressed Look” for September 1 and 2. The theatre seated 400 people.
The last night of operation for the Majectic Theatre was June 9, 1951.

The Majestic can be seen in this 1942 photo.
If you look at the street today, the Uniform Shop at 203 N. Court and the Salvation Army at 205 N. would be directly across the street from the Majestic. Both the theater and the old National Bank building on the corner have been replaced by a newer structure. It looks like the theater was demolished some time ago.
Not interested in Google photos.
The Majestic closed in 1951 but the building survived until May 1958 when it was razed to make room for the large bank building that now stands on the site.
