You will note on the one image there is also an ad for the Baker Grand Theatre. The only Baker Grand on Cinema Treasures is 167 miles away from St. Charles. I was unable to find a reference to another one with my limited resources. Ken Roe also had no information. Can any of you come up with something?

In 1917 there was an Electric Theatre in St. Joseph. In 1922 it was announced that Louis Blackman had erected a new home for the his St. Joseph Theatre. Presumably the Electric had become the St. Joseph at some point. In the 1930s it was call the Blackman.

I have uploaded photos of images from the Tensas Gazette relating to the above.
