There is at least one later map which would help to clarify this, but it’s not available online.
Nickerson’s longest-running movie theater appears to have been one called the Gem, but an early (probably mid-1910s) real photo postcard on sale at eBay shows it in a single-story building across the street from 6 N. Nickerson. The earliest mention of the Gem I’ve found in trade journals is from 1918, and it is mentioned again in 1923 and is listed in FDYs from 1926 and 1929. It might have started out at 6 N. Nickerson and later moved, or vice-versa, and might have been listed under a different name in the 1914-1915 AMPD.
