The Temple Theatre was launched July 1, 1929 by Sam Fringer. Fringer had discontinued operation of the Empress Theatre on June 15, 1929 moving the equipment to the Temple. The theatre opened along with the well-placed Temple Soda Shoppe next door.
From google maps comes this a modern day view of the former Temple Theatre (minus marguee), Pensylvania and Jefferson,
