This can’t have been the Central, since that seems to have operated well into the ‘30s, at which point this building was gone.

It’s odd that the name would have been moved. 622-624 was a 5 and dime on the 1915 map, which is from June. The building is also stores on the 1908 map.

While a movie house called the Lyric Theatre was listed at Hot Springs in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory, it was located at 624 Central Avenue. No theaters were listed at 406 Central, though several were listed without addresses. There were houses called the Central and the New Central, so this house might have been one or the other of those.
