Cyrus in a pickle: a question of Paramount importance


Cyrus is tirelessly in search of more information about the history of the Paramount Theatre, which entertained Adair Countians in the early 1900s.

I've been anxiously casting about the better of the day, rather like a old hound sniffing around for a nonexistent trail, trying to find the answer to a burning question. However, the works of both Waggener and Watson are silent on this point, and I fear all is lost.

Does anyone know when the Paramount Theatre opened in Columbia and where it was located?
