Dixie Theater - New Madrid, Missouri - Ghosts and Hauntings on Waymarking.com

This art deco theater, built in 1935 for both movies and vaudeville, is located at 227 Main Street. This is a two-story, brown brick building with the typical central ticket booth and paired doors to either side of the booth. Recesses in the brickwork on either end allow for posters or advertisements for upcoming shows. There is a large marquee over the entry with a vertical sign "Dixie" above the marquee.
