The 1910 map is from February, but it is just possible that it’s the Colonial. Usually things that aren’t open have a ‘to be’ note before the description.
If the 1910 Sanborn is dated later than April then one of the unidentified theaters on it is probably the Colonial, a house whose recent opening was noted in the April 1, 1910 edition of The Nickelodeon. The Colonial might have been short-lived, as the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory lists only two houses at Charleston, the Aereo on S. 6th Street and the Orpheum at 54 7th Street.
