There were some other segregated rooming houses, etc. in this area. Thanks for the ID!
This is from the March 6, 1915 issue of Motography: “The Ruby theater, which has been operated at 427 South Main street, Hutchinson, for the negroes, is closed. Mr. Thomas, the owner of the fixtures, is to reopen the show within a few weeks.” The fact that the Ruby was a segregated house for African-Americans undoubtedly accounts for its out-of-the-way location.
