This was known to many locals as the Circle Theatre housed in the Circle Theatre Building - the name it had for the majority of its operating years. (When it closed, an article referred to it as the former Circle Theatre.) It did, however, open as the Emerald and close as the Pic.
Reopened as Pic on February 11th, 1944. Ad in the photo section. Ads as Emerald disappeared from 1920-1944. Was this closed during this time or did not bother to place ads.
This opened on March 29th, 1913. Grand opening ad.
The Emerald became the PIX Theater in the early 50s but was closed around 1955.
The Emerald Theatre was in operation by 1915, according to the date the Kansas City Library gives this photo of it. The following year the operators opened an airdome across the street, according to this item from the July 22, 1916, issue of The Moving Picture World:
