The Gem Theatre was in operaration by 1950. The decriptive passage that follows is courtesy of Roadside Oklahoma page;
"The Gem Theatre is now a vacant lot with only the frame of the facade remaining. The rest of the theater has either collapsed with age or was the victim of fire. The plain facade still remains, though, with the word "Gem" appearing at the top."
Do you know anything regarding the former Gem?

It must have been a mom & pop operation.I couldn’t find it in my 1956 Motion Picture Almanac under theatre circuits.I could have missed it.
PLEASE CHANGE ADDRESS TO:
781 E STREET
No Main Street is in Snyder.
Need more info and more photos.
If you click the map button on the header it takes you right to Main St. I don’t see an E St. though on the map, the only letter St. is A St.
Only the Gem Theatre white facade remains (photo left),

From looking at fire insurance maps, it seems that this theatre opened sometime after 1914 and closed before 1930. It is only present on the 1924 map.
