The word "theater" comes from ancient Greek, and can be used two ways. It originally meant a place for viewing, as in a hall where plays were performed; later, it meant a place to see movies. But during World War II, it carried another meaning. We heard about the "theater of operation" or the "Pacific theater"-- this referred to a location or region where fighting was occurring, it referenced the strategic plans for that region. So, yes there were both movie theaters and military theaters in that era. The movie theaters often showed patriotic films, and tried to keep people's spirits up. The military theaters were supervised by generals who planned the strategy specific to that region.
