The Mound Theatre first appears in the FDY in 1949, when it is listed with 240 seats. Theaters are not listed by city in the 1948 FDY, but earlier Ocheyedan had a house called the Princess Theatre, listed with 165 seats in 1947 and with between 150 and 200 seats in various previous years. The Princess was in operation at least as early as 1917. I’ve been unable to discover if the Mound was the Princess expanded, but it must have been in operation by 1947, and possibly as early as 1946.
