I grew up working at this theatre.My father helped build it and my mother was the first ticket seller.
May 1 1970 THE LAKE THEATRE is playing “BEN-HUR” with two shows daily.“GOODBYE,MR.CHIPS” would play next.
This theatre was featured in the 1948/49 theatre catalog.It had 908 seats on opening and the architect was Erwin G Frederick.

The website for this theater is also for sale. I found an old article about this theater:
“Oct. 24, 1955 — Lake Theater owner Nick Mallers and Fire Chief Norman Banghart met today with state fire marshal officials and insurance adjusters in an inspection to determine the cause of an explosion Sunday morning that left the interior of the large, 7-year-old theater at the corner of Main and Buffalo streets, Warsaw, a shambles of destruction, with damages estimated by Mallers as close to $150,000”.
If you do the math, this theater opened around 1948.
This theatre is was closed by Mallier’s who opened up a six screen theatre on U.S. 30. It is currently listed by a local realestate company.
The address for the Lake Theatre is 100 West Main Street, Warsaw, In.
