This theatre appears on the 1910 Sanborn, in one storefront of an old two-story building. The building was constructed at least as early as 1885, and this half was a bookstore/stationer until the 1910 map. The 1914-1915 edition of American Motion Picture Directory lists it at 62 S. Main Street.
Unfortunately, Ohio’s map archive is very poorly scanned, and the entire block is a dark smudge on the 1921 map. It had closed by 1926. By 1949 at least, it had reverted to retail, and today the entire building is home to a spa.

It appears that odds and evens switched sides at some point. The 1910 map has the old numbers in parentheses. Even so, in 1910 the current 62 was a grocery store just the other side of the alley in the middle of the block. The old 62 was a bank way down by the railroad tracks. Of course, with the 1921 map being useless, I can’t see what 62 was then, but it’s a store in 1949, and I suspect that never changed.
