The Sylvia Theatre was opened in 1915. It was listed as (Closed) in 1934, but had reopened by 1935 and was still open in 1937, but by 1938 it had closed and had been replaced by the 220-seat Palace Theatre which was listed as a (portable) theatre.

The Wikipedia article on the Sylvester Commercial Historic District, citing an NRHP nomination form, says that the Sylvia Theatre was built in 1915 at 118 E. Kelly Street.
The Sylvia Theatre was mentioned in the May 14, 1921, issue of The Moving Picture World. The manager at that time was named R.A. Heinsohn, but the magazine misspelled it as Heinshon.
I believe the theater was in a building now housing the Daniel Auction Co., which uses the address 116 but is wide enough to have housed a theater entrance flanked by two small storefronts. A taller section at the back, which looks to have been an addition, could have been the auditorium.
