That’s a good possibility. It’s odd that only the Majestic is listed, since the Ritz was also open by early 1913 at the latest.
One possible name for this house is revealed in this item from the January 21, 1911 issue of The Motion Picture News: “Centerville, Iowa.—O. E. Dickeson has purchased the Star theater here from G. E. Morrow.” So far this is the earliest mention of a movie theater at Centerville I’ve found in the trade journals, and I’ve found no other mentions of the Star Theatre. The Star was not listed in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory, which lists only the Majestic at Centerville.
