The 1910 Sanborn shows a theater operating in the northernmost storefront of a large 2 story commercial block. The address at this point seems to have been 12 S. Jefferson Street. It seems it was on the ground floor only, as the second floor was open above the two storefronts on the north end. The building is reasonably well preserved aside from an unfortunate modern storefront. It is currently a tanning salon.
The 1914-1915 edition of American Motion Picture Directory lists two theatre without an address: Cosy Theatre and Orpheum Theatre, either could have been this theatre.

The May 15, 1910 issue of The Nickelodeon suggests another possible name for this house: “MARSHALL, Mo.-The Gayety, a new moving picture theater, was recently opened by the Midland Amusement Company of Kansas City, under the management of W. C. Robertson.”
On the other hand, since the April 15 issue of the same journal had said that Mr. Robertson had opened a theater in the Ming Building, and Google’s AI says that the Ming Building was on the north side of Marshall’s town square, which is not Jefferson Street, this house might not have been the Gayety. Unless, of course, Mr. Robertson opened more than one theater at Marshall that year.
Thanks for the research. I may try to come back to this one when I have the time.
