Planters Bank & Trust Co. was built in 1923 at 103 N. Main Street. At the rear of the bank on W. Howard Street was possibly an airdome theatre. An indoor theatre was built on the site which opened as the Liberty Theatre around June 1922. It occasionally staged minstrel shows and magic shows as well as presenting movies. It was equipped for sound in 1930. It was briefly closed in 1932, possibly due to the Depression. In 1939 it was taken over by the K. Lee Williams Theatres Inc. circuit, who closed this location on W. Howard Street and it was dismantled and converted into an office building.
The Liberty Theatre operation was moved to 118 N. Main Street, which had previously housed the Princess Theatre/New Theatre and now the second Liberty Theatre (it has its own page on Cinema Treasures).

A movie house called the Princess Theatre was mentioned in the July 5, 1913 issue of The Nashville News. The most recent mention of the Princess I’ve found in that paper is from December 31, 1921. As we don’t have an address for the Princess, is it possible that it became the Liberty, which opened in 1922?
You could be right Joe, in 1914 it is listed as motion pictures. In 1908 it is a general store.
