Opened on August 28, 1924 with Jack Holt in “Wanderer Of The Wasteland” along with the Frederic Eugene Ives 3-D short “Plastigrams”, the two-reel scenic short “The Chase”, and a musical performance by the Ohio Melody Boys.

Circa 1950 photo added, large yellow roof on the left is possibly the Liberty Theater. Approximately 179 Main Street, which is the today the site of the Pike County Judicial Center. Would need a local to confirm location.

My great-grandfather owned this theater in the 1930s while his sons ran the theater. Is this theater still standing? What was it’s location on Main Street in Pikeville? TIA!

Teresa, yes please add lots more info, photos, an address and what’s on the theater site now!

Here’s some stuff I came up with, I don’t know how true it is, but it is something?

Open from ABOUT 1930-1955?

Owners?:

1940 Schine Circuit Incorporated?

1950 Darnell Theaters Incorporated?

1955 Elmart Incorporate?
