DAVIS THEATRE OPENS TUESDAY
One of State’s Most Beautiful Theatres Opens
Tuesday, April 17th in Higginsville
Beginning next Tuesday night, April 17th, Higginsville citizens can boast of having one of the most beautiful theatres here of any town anywhere near this size in Missouri. The old Royal Theatre has passed into history, and next Tuesday night J.W. Davis, owner of the show will open his new “Davis” Theatre to the public. Civic clubs of the town, in an effort to show their appreciation to Mr. Davis, undertook to sell out the show the opening night at $1.00 per ticket. The merchants of the town subscribed tickets, and most of them have already been sold, everyone being anxious to attend. Tickets will not be on sale that night at the door, and everyone wishing to attend the opening night must secure their tickets ahead of time, through some merchant or from the committee in charge of arrangements.
The interior of the building is highly pleasing in appearance. The walls and ceiling are of celotex, which has been grooved into squares and triangles, with colored rectangles at intervals making a most pleasing design. The side walls are set with panels of colored celotex and red velvet. A baseboard of stained and varnished panelboard extends several feet up from the floor around the entire room. The room is well lighted with new ornamental lights from the ceiling, and while the pictures are being shown, the lighting is done by small colored ornamental side lights. The seating capacity of the new theatre is 750, and Mr. Davis purchased practically all new, leather upholstered seats for the room. They have been spaced further apart than most theatres, so that there will be plenty of leg room, and also, plenty of room for a person to pass into a row without everyone getting up. One of the best features is the gradual slope of the seats from the rear of the room to the front. The back half of the floor being raised into long steps, with a sloping isle. Every seat will have a full view of the screen. The screen itself is new, and much larger than the old one. The new sound screens, while presenting a solid appearance, are full of small holes, there being well over a million such holes in the new screen at the Davis Theatre. A large neon sign on the front of the building with the word “Davis,” two display panels, and the glass ticket cage at the entrance gives the show a real metropolitan appearance. Inside the entrance is a spacious foyer with a waiting room, ladies' and mens' toilets, and the manager’s private office leading off from both ends. There are two isles leading into the show room. A new picture “Melody In Spring” is the feature the opening night.
The picture stars Lanny Ross, favorite over the over Janes on the “showboat” program and his radio fans will not be disappointed with his screen appearance. This is one of the best pictures produced this year, and has been procured by Mr. Davis at considerable expense in order to make the first night performance attractive. In addition, there will be a news reel, comedy, and several other short attractions. Short talks appropriate to the occasion will be made by Rev. John Lindsey and Mayor Huscher.
The Electric Theatre was listed as open in 1925. At that time seating was listed at 350. The theatre closed in 1934 and was reopened in 1938 with seating listed at 325.
The Electric Theatre was listed as closed in 1933. Seating was listed at 500. It closed a couple years after the Ozark Theatre opened. The address was 111 S. Maple St., the building has been demolished.
in 1936 the Opera House was known as the Park Theater showing motion pictures, this continued at least until the very late-1950’s. If you look on their facebook page it shows a photo of the Opera House as the Park Theatre.
The Rialto is listed for lease on Loopnet.
