On March 20, 1948, Boxoffice reported, “The Adamson Theatre, a 250-seat house, is being opened at Cody, Neb., and will replace the makeshift Cody Theatre. The city operated the Cody Theatre, which was an old store building, in the interests of giving the townspeople films. The new theatre, which is housed in a building which also contains a recreation room, was made possible through the donation of $40,000 by Mrs. Adamson, a resident of the town of 300. Mrs. Adamson made the request that the money be used for a building to provide entertainment but that it must have a recreation room. A. R. Bowman, an employe of the town, manages the theatre.”
The 1950 Film Daily Year Book listed three theaters for tiny Cody, population 395. They were the Adamson Theatre, 250 seats; Cody Theatre, 200; and Home Theatre, 375.
