The Globe Theatre is mentioned in the August 12, 1916, issue of The Moving Picture World: “Albany.â€"B. A. Rolfe, of the Rolfe theater, and C. A. Myers of the Globe have formed a corporation to handle both theaters. The Rolfe will only run two days a week and the Globe every day.”

The Venetian was part of the Adamson theater chain in the early sixties. Adamson Theaters also ran the Rialto in Albany, as well as the Parkrose Theater and Canyon Drive-In in Portland and the Oregon State and Varsity in Corvallis.

A few years ago it was bought by a church. It is now a church.
