The Capitol Theatre was listed as open in 1914. It was wired for sound in 1932. In 1938 it was renamed the Lita Theatre and by 1939 it got its final name, the Roxy Theatre. Initially the theatre seated 300 but when it was remodeled and wired for sound it was reduced to 240. The Roxy Theatre is no longer listed as open in 1954.

I think this theater was on the corner with E Mulberry St, in which case it has been demolished. The July 1916 Sanborn shows a house on that lot, so it was opened sometime after that.
The address and some of the other information are wrong. The 1916 map shows only one theater, on the no longer extant Court (Street?). Unless there has been renumbering, 118 was a house on the corner, and is now an empty lot. Even if the current 116 was also 118, the 1916 map shows it as a dry goods store.
There was an opera house in a 2 story building across from the courthouse, but no mention is made of movies. Address would have been on the odd side of the 100 block of S Main. It was constructed by 1884. The 2008 streetview shows the butchered remains of the ground floor, but the building has since been demolished.
