A memory from Jon A Nelson:
“I can remember attending this theater across from The Tackett Movie Theater on 8th Street in the late 40’s. What I remember is that the rest rooms were down front under the screen. The Ismo Theater opened in 1940 and closed in 1950. It seated 466 and was ran by Fox Midwest Amusement Corporation from 1945 to 1950.”
Although dmt added a photo in 2016, he didn’t leave a comment. The timeline is wrong. This opened in 1912, in a large business block that must have been recently constructed, as it’s not on the 1908 map. It was originally the Columbia, and must have been remodeled and renamed in 1940. The building is disfigured by a repulsive ‘70s concrete awning, but is in pretty good shape. The theater space is a cafe.
