The Theatre Historical Society on-line archive has the MGM Theatre Report for the Playhouse; it’s Card # 375. Adddress is “Main St.” There is an exterior photo dated March 6, 1941. The marquee reads “Gorham” Theater. Someone typed “Gorham” as the theater name, and then that was crossed out and someone wrote “Playhouse” next to it. So it was the Gorham Theatre, renamed Playhouse. Condition was Good. The report says it opened in 1940, was showing MGM films, and had 450 seats. The 1940 population was 3,500.
