A tourist brochure (PDF here) says that the Cherokee Theatre was built in 1953. It replaced an earlier house called the Gay Theatre, which had opened in 1929 at another location.

The brochure doesn’t mention it, but as late as 1927, Sweetwater had a movie house called the Moneta Theatre, which dated back to the 1910s.

Actually, pretty sure it’s 603 N. Main St., and is now an Edward Jones office. http://mcminn.media.clients.ellingtoncms.com/img/marketplace/businesses/images/2009/01/07/Edward_Jones_t670.JPG?b3f6a5d7692ccc373d56e40cf708e3fa67d9af9d
