Correct address is 124-126 S 6th. This was originally the Grand Opera House, built sometime before 1885. It appears that it was remodeled sometime around 1920, and used by the Knights of Pythias (who presumably took over the old second story opera house). It survived into the 1970s, when it was a bowling alley. The entire block has been destroyed. After being a vacant lot for many years, the site is now a cheap prefab shed fire station.

Here is a slightly belated announcement from the September 10, 1921 Moving Picture World: “Construction on the new theatre that the Strand Amusement Company is building at Osage City, Kas., is rapidly nearing completing and will be ready to open about September 1.”
