Jerry Alexander, there was another theatre on Finney at Pendleton called the Venus Theatre. It was listed as open prior to 1926 and closed in 1934. Do you have any information on the Venus Theatre?
There was another theatre in Kinloch prior to this called the Harlem Theatre that seated 200. Anyone have any info on the Harlem? The Lincoln would have been located between Airport Road and Interstate 70 if it was located in Kinloch.
This theatre goes back to prior to 1925 when it was known as the Lyric Theatre. The theatre was wired for sound in 1931. It was renamed the Melba in 1932 when it seated 220. In 1940 a new theatre was built on the site and was opened as the New Melba Theatre seating 375. The theatre was reseated in 1947 to 325 and then being known as just the Melba Theatre, the New was dropped. The Melba was still listed as open in the early-1960’s.
This theatre was originally scheduled to be an Alamo Drafthouse. The developer was forclosed on and a new developer purchased the project in 2010, in 2012 it was announced that Cinemark would operate the unfinished project when it was completed as their Movie Bistro.
Mid American had a screening room in their office building much like the Fox did in their basement. Movies were prescreened before their release. (Info passsed on from Brother Van Bibber)
