“The Cornes Theater opened in Farmersville July 16, 1925 with a formal dedication. It began with the Lions Club Orchestra giving a musical program. Everyone was welcomed by Mayor H.L. Hendrix. After Rev. J. C. Marshall spoke on “Social and Moral Value of the Motion Picture”, J. F. Kilpatrick told of “The Educational Value of the Motion Pictures”. The first movie was D. W. Griffith’s great historical drama “America” starring Lionel Barrymore, Neil Hamilton and Carol Dempster.”
Update:
Concord Theater, 1966. The Concord was located on the south side of Emma Avenue near the present-day parking lot where Coffee and Cars is held. (203 Emma Avenue)
The Concord opened in 1927 with seating for 650 (the seats were walnut-finished folding chairs bolted to the floor), a pipe organ, and lighted stage. The first talking motion picture to come to Springdale was shown there in 1929.
The Concord had seen better days by the time this photo was taken. After standing vacant for several years, in 1968, the building became home to the Springdale Fine Arts Center, the forerunner of today’s Arts Center of the Ozarks. The Arts Center moved out in 1971 and the building was torn down soon after.
Address was 203 Emma Avenue.

June 2019 street view shows it with a vinyl awning as Broadway Super Market. The marquee and poster boxes have been removed exposing red bricks different than the beige face brick. There is graffiti on some portions.

You can see the entire original facade was removed, as the later Piser facade is set back from the building next door to the South.

vindipar, the Winter Garden photo is likely October 1967 sign changes after Lansbury’s return after vacation.
Celeste Holm replaced Angela Lansbury for two weeks when she went on vacation in August 67. Lansbury left in March 68 and Janis Page took the role in April 68.
It moved from Winter Garden to The Broadway Theatre in69, later with Jane Morgan, then Ann Miller.
I answered it under the photo where you mentioned it, but CT does not notify members of additional comments under photos. Only in these main threads.
Hopefully the CT Admins will see this and can make the necessary changes so that additional comments under photos will send out notifications like these do.
