The Duncan Theatre opened on January 29, 1915 by R.D. Stabler. The Duncan Theatre under Joe L. Belew, Jr. became the Kentucky Theatre on May 22, 1930 as it transitioned to sound. The Kentucky Theatre became the Pastime Theatre on December 24, 1931. It closed in May of 1934. It reopened in November dubbed the Pastime Theatre with a marketing slogan of “Max’s Show.” In 1937, its marketing slogan is “Holmes' Show”. It’s then called the New Pastime Theatre in 1947 with a more austere, streamlined look..
