The Theatre Historical Society archive has the MGM Theatre Report for the Community; it’s Card # 371. Address is Main Street. There is an exterior photo taken April 9, 1941. Condition is Fair. The report says that it opened in 1915, was showing MGM films, and had 325 seats. The 1940 population was 5,600.
The CinemaData project file on the Community states that the building was actually a convent, and that a commercial movie venue operated on the lower level, at 14 East Main St., until at least 1952. The space later became a senior center.
