| Notes | Changed Close date to 1930 because theater no longer shown on Sanborn Map. However, an African American theater by the name of Globe appears in Film Daily Yearbook, 1931 (p 848), 1932 (p. 835), and 1933 (pg. # cut off). Don’t have African American theaters for 1930. Didn;t add new entry for 1931-1933 because unsure about "ID" column." Also need to remove un-named theater at 545-547 E. Nash in Movies Part 1 (same theater) ELH 8/13/07 | ||||||
