An item datelined Central City, Neb. in the July 1, 1916 issue of The Moving Picture World said that “[a] moving picture theater will occupy the lower floor of a building which S. A. Danielson will erect on Main Street.” The August 26 issue of the same journal said that “[t]he new moving picture theater here, which will be managed by D. L. Donelson, will be known as the Donelson theater.”
Main Street turns out to be an aka for G Avenue, also now known as Highway 30, though in the past it has been called Broad Street and Stitzer Avenue. It is also part of the Lincoln Highway. The Donelson Theatre was somewhere on the north side of G Avenue, between C and D Streets, but I’ve been unable to find the exact address.
