Another movie house in Limerick many years ago was the oddly-named Yarn Theatre, with 300 seats. I don’t know what the street address was.

The Cinema Data Project’s page for the Sokokis Theatre adds the information that the house closed on March 2, 1952, citing a document from the National Screen Service Corporation.

The Theatre Historical Society archive has the MGM Theatre Report for the Sokokis; it’s Card # 400. Address is “Sokokis Avenue” in “Liverick”. There is an exterior photo taken April 17, 1941. Condition is Poor. The report says it opened in 1928, was showing MGM films and had 350 seats. The 1940 population was 1,000.
