Auditorium Slater MO, Kiva Theatre
Auditorium Slater MO, later called Kiva Theatre and later converted to a bowling alley. Note the projection booth hanging on the building, later enclosed within the building. The marquee reads "Diamond From the Sky" a 1915 silent film. To the left is a three story apt building where my brother-in-law and sister once lived while he worked as projectionist for the Kiva Theatre. The apt building was later converted to a three story single family residence by Wayne Cott. He has since sold the building. Craig Hubbard
