The Idle Hour was the only theater listed at Tama in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory. The December 27, 1913 issue of Moving Picture World mentioned a house in Tama called the Star Theatre which had opened the previous April, so the Idle Hour had competition at that time. An item in the February 1, 1910 issue of The Nickelodeon said that a John Hedrick planned to open a moving picture theater at Tama. That could have been the origin of the Idle Hour.
