The R Theatre opened on the Toledo’s downtown Cumberland County Courthouse Square on May 21, 1927. It hosted Sunday church services and held a Sunday matinee film after the church service concluded. The theatre closed, unable to make the conversion to sound.

A new operator took on the venue equipping it for sound under its new name of the Toledo Theatre. The Toledo Theatre projection booth caught fire on December 20, 1939 causing a minor injury. Like many small sub-1,000 population town cinemas, the Toledo Theatre ceased at television’s onset in 1951.
