I still have the picture of the Pererless given to my by Charlie O'Neal
Opening date has been narrowed down to Christmas week of 1915.
My comment is always, What did they show before sound movies? I have seen no comments on whether they used a piano for sound to accompany. I have found no evidence of any other musical instruments. Surely they were not just silent period.

Years of operation were 1916 to 1957.
Are you refering to “Mantlelight” It was sort of a White Castle type and had 0.10c hamburgers

I was a at least weekly customer of the Peerless in the 1950’s. Admission was 1 to 15c back then with 5c bags of pop corn. Enjoyed the serials on Saturdays and lots of westerns. Before it was torn down the doors had been broken in and I wondered in before demolition and the Voice of the Theatre sound sytem was still behind the torn screen though missing it’s speakers. One of the ushers name was Gene Smith. I lived ½ block away.
