The Pen theater was originally named the Princess Theater and owned by Sophie Burkhardt. In the early 1940’s it was purchased by Ed Malone who changed the name to the Pem Theater. It was later sold to Paul Ayotte, who later served as mayor of Wabasha. It was finally sold to Harold Krenz who operated it until it was closed.

I believe Ed Malone was the original owner and later Harold Krenz, the gentleman I worked for.

The Pem Theatre closed sometime in the late 60’s or early 70’s. I was the Saturday matinee projectionist in 1962-1963.
