The 1941 edition of Film Daily Yearbook has the original Carolina Theatre listed with a seating capacity of 850. Operated by Paramount Pictures Inc., through their subsidiary H.F. Kincey.

The old theatre is still listed in the 1943 edition of FDY, even though the new Carolina Theatre had opened. The new Carolina Theatre is not listed.
