When Carl Philips bought the venue from the Van Alstyne Brothers, he renamed it the Oak Theater at the October 7, 1938 with “Little Miss Broadway” with Shirley Temple. The Oak Theatre ended with a gift night and Red Skelton in “Ship Ahoy.” But like a lot of theatres during WW2, the tire shortage got them making September 5, 1942 their last night.
