On October 20, 1936, the Hancock Theatre was partially destroyed by a fire, though there’s not a lot of information about it. It reopened on May 23, 1937 after reconstruction. Another fire broke out on November 2, 1949, when an unknown film caught fire in one of their two machines, alongside two other rolls of film, both unidentified. The theater reopened two weeks later. It was still open in the mid-1950s.
