The address needs to be corrected. The former theatre is at 112 W Main and has been repurposed as a bowling alley named Uncle Bob’s Bowling Center. I spoke with an employee there who verified it was the old Dickinson Theater. Function should be Bowling Alley.
Dickinson Theatres opened the Dickinson Theatre on September 13, 1935 with Jessie Matthews in “Evergreen” and Norman Foster in “Behind The Evidence” along with Walt Disney’s Silly Symphony “The Big Bad Wolf” (or the partial sequel to “Three Little Pigs”), featuring installations of RCA Victor Sound.
It was renamed the Kansan Theatre on October 8, 1939, and was taken over by Commonwealth Theatres. It was closed on July 6, 1947 with Spencer Tracy in “Boom Town” (unknown if extras added).
