The Princess Theatre located at the Hoehn building opened its doors on January 30, 1920 with William Faversham in “The Silver King” along with musical performances by an eight-piece orchestra, and was first operated by Mr. Brent Peters. It was renamed the Tipton Theatre on June 3, 1934 after a major two-month remodel led by J.P. Ephland of Versailles and manager J.T. Ghosen of Sedalia. Two more remodels took place in July 1938 and again in 1941.
The Tipton Theatre closed on January 29, 1956 with Jane Wyman in “Lucy Gallant” and the Bowery Boys in “Jail Busters”, and was converted into an electronics department store.

The March 8, 1924 issue of Moving Picture World reported that: “Mr. and Mrs. Ben Peters have leased their houses in Bunceton and Tipton. Mo., to O. L. Dowell, who has houses in Versailles and Eldon, Mo.” On March 22, the same journal noted that “W. C. Sears of Booneville. Mo., has purchased the theatres of Mrs. Brent Peters in Tipton and Bunceton, Mo.” The Tipton and Bunceton houses were both called the Princess.
