The Russell Theatre is a building in Maysville, Kentucky that was originally intended as a movie theater but has since been adapted for other uses. Construction of the Russell Theatre was announced by Maysville businessman Col. J. Russell Barbour in 1928. The structure costing $125,000 opened on December 4, 1930, with a showing of the movie Whoopee! starring Eddie Cantor. The building site was previously occupied by wholesale grocery warehouses.
