In the Overview it states being built “in the heart of "hunt country”.
One of the definitions of Tally Ho is: a huntsman’s cry to the hounds on sighting a fox.

Odd name!! Why the name Tally Ho?
The Talky Ho no longer has movies. The center wall was removed, now a single auditorium that hosts music and comedy acts.

The Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star reported on February 21, 1931, that Benjamin Pitts, operator of theaters at Fredericksburg, Front Royal, Warrenton, Culpeper, Killmarnock, and Suffolk, would build a new theater at Leesburg. The Tally-Ho Theatre later appeared on lists of houses operated by Pitts' Theatres as Pitts' Tally-Ho.
The Tally Ho closed in September 2012. It reopened January 2013 as a performing arts venue – no more movies, sadly.
When the Tally-Ho Theatre was a single screen theatre it seated 739 people.
