This theater was operated strictly as a movie house. In the 1940’s they regularly showed double features. Between films many times they had held contests or had live stage acts, like a hypnotist or an astrologer. The name of the theatre was changed to The Victory and was run by The Moses brothers untill it closed sometime in the early 60s.
