The Gulf Theatre located on Waveland Avenue in Waveland, Mississippi was opened in June 1937. It had a short life, as it was destroyed by a fire on November 20, 1938. This theatre was owned and operated by Ed Ortte who was a co-owner of the Gulf Theatre and the Legion Theatre in Gulfport, Mississippi.
He opened the Orttie Theatre in Bay Saint Louis shortly after the Gulf Theatre on Waveland Avenue was destroyed.
