The Chief Theatre opened on August 12, 1936 at 217 N. Main Street USA (then called Kansas Avenue.)
“Welcome!
We greet you, our patrons with a hearty welcome and eager hopes that this evening will be one of the happiest you have ever known and from the bottom of our hearts we pledge
that every evening you spend at the Chief Theatre shall be an enjoyable one, sweeping you away with its presentations, thrilling you with its music, making the hours spent here pleasant ones indeed.
Sincerely,
C. G. Gilkeson
Manager”
