The earliest mention of a movie theater at Nashville I’ve found in the trade publications is in the September 7, 1918 issue of Moving Picture World, but that house was called the Picture.
The April 13, 1929 issue of Universal Weekly published a letter from W. Wagner of Nashville, Illinois, in which he said that he had been in show business for fourteen years. His theater’s name was not mentioned, but the only theater at Nashville was listed in the FDY as the Gem by 1926. The April 1, 1933 issue of Motion Picture Herald ran a letter from H. R. Hisey of the State Theatre in Nashville.
