I lived in Sigourney in 1973 and 1974. My dad and I saw quite a few movies at this theater during that time: a couple of Woody Allen comedies, Legend Of Boggy Creek, Pippi Longstockings, McQ, just to name a few. The theater closed down, I believe, around the end of 1974; when we returned to the area in 1975, it was closed.
This theater was definitely open by Dec. 1916. The building does not appear on the 1906 map. It was probably built as a theater. The 1914-15 American Motion Picture Directory lists a Majestic, which could very well be this building. The Garden is listed in 1926.
Jackie’s is long gone, but this was a hair salon until recently. The latest streetview shows it vacant and for sale.
