This theater appears on the 1914 Sanborn, in a large and ‘modern’ structure of concrete block with a vaulted roof and a decorative tin front.
Despite clearly being a purpose-built structure, and generally fireproof, by 1919 not only is the theater closed, but the building is gone, replaced by some simple storefronts.

I wonder if this could have been the Grand Theatre, a West Frankfort house I’ve found mentioned only in disaster-related journals in 1915? It burned on May 4 that year, with an estimated loss of $20,000 according to one of the publications.
I think this has to be it. Thanks!
