Town Theatre

Theaters listed in Davenport City Directory at 1518 Washington are Smallfield 1914-15, Eagle 1916-28, Northwest 1929-33, Washington 1936-40, Times 1941-49, Town 1951. In March 1951 Daily Times news story it says that Ernie Pannos and Jim Stopulos were operating their Coronet theater at 1518 Washington since Jan 12, 1951 but would transfer their activities to the Uptown at 1413 Harrison. Pannos was quoted referring to the Uptown as the “new Coronet”. The theater on Harrison would be locally famous as the Coronet and today few remember that the theater on Washington was ever called the Coronet for a few weeks before it closed.
