(I regret finding that link, cause now we’ll have to cross reference all those theatre’s with CT to insure they have pages.)
The Vernon Theatre was destroyed by fire in September, 1952 per Joe Vogel. Two photos added, 1948 credit Peggy Ford and 1945 via Peggy Mewbourn-Mitschke Ford.
I submitted a CT page for the Vernon Theater based on VernonTexasHistory’s above description.
I have located 2 photo’s from 1944 & 1945, which I will add after the page is accepted by the CT Admins.
I will post the link to that page here as well.
I found reference of a Gem Theatre that was opened on New Haven Avenue in 1914 by J.B. Johnston, and was sold in 1916 to former first Melbourne Mayor Charles John Frazier Campbell. It was still in existence in 1924, the date of a photo I saved from the Melbourne & Melhi Memories-Melbourne Florida Facebook page. I’m looking for confirmation that it ever showed films, before I add a page for it to CT. Please respond back here if anyone finds anything further.
