The Casino was apparently a different theater from the Beyer. An NRHP form has a paragraph about an Excelsior Springs businessman named R. B. Christian, who was “…the owner/operator of the Casino and the Beyer Theaters.”
Here’s a web page with ads for the Casino Theatre.
The “Orpheum” mentioned in the 1924 Reel Journal item was probably the Orpheus Theatre in this ad.
An Excelsior Springs house called the Beyer Theatre was mentioned in the February 2, 1924, issue of The Reel Journal. Its new manager, John Judd, had previously been associated with the Orpheum Theatre, also in Excelsior Springs.
This web page has three ads from the theater’s early days, and says that in 1924 it was called Byer’s Casino Theater.
