“The Lynch Theater, pictured on August 6,1920, showed movies for residents to enjoy. Alfred Lash LaRue, a movie star in westerns from the 1940s and 50s visited Lynch’s theater. LaRue taught Harrison Ford how to use a bullwhip for the Indiana Jones movies.”

“Somewhere around 1928 we had the first sound movie in Lakeville at the Stuart Theater. I went with Mother and Dad to see (and hear) Al Jolson in The Jazz Singer. The movie was on conventional film, but the sound wasn’t on a sound track on the film the way it is now. It was on a Victrola record that was supposed to synchronize with the movie – it didn’t. I used to go to the movies there until the Stuart was destroyed in the disastrous fire at Christmas time.” John Rudd
Address was 2032 W. Cumberland Avenue, State Hwy 74 today.
