One of the earliest performances listed online is the first Kabuki adaptation of Chikamatsu Monzaemon’s puppet theater drama “Heike Nyogo no Shima”, starring Anegawa Shinshirô I and Matsushima Hyôtarô just to name a few, dating all the way back to February 1720. The production itself was written the previous year in 1719 by Takeshima Kôzaemon II of Osaka. Shinshirô would later become a popular icon in the business as “Zamoto” in November 1742.
The Lynbrook Theatre opened its doors on April 30, 1923, with the building costing an estimate grand of $250,000 in construction, featuring 14 rooms, rich Egyptian designs blending with Grecian outlines and color schemes, a 31x100ft auditorium, and an original capacity of 2,100 seats (with 1,600 seats in the orchestra pit and 500 seats in the balcony).
Opened on November 27, 1929 with Erich von Stroheim in “The Great Gabbo” along with live performances by a 125-person orchestra and a choir of 100 people. Otherwise, unknown if extras added.
This was originally planned to open as a Hoosier Cinemas Inc. theater, who also operated several other theaters in Southern Indiana. It wasn’t until Herthel met the owners who became part of Kerasotes afterward, just before opening.
