Opened On October 24, 1931.
At some point the Lake Theatre became part of Publix-Fitzpatrick-McElroy, created in April 1929 when Publix Theaters Corp., the exhibition arm of Paramount-Famous-Lasky, acquired control of Fitzpatrick-McElroy. In January 1933 Publix-Fitzpatrick-McElroy was placed into receivership, followed by bankruptcy.
On February 1, 1933, Referee in Bankruptcy Carl Wilde appointed Irving Lemaux to manage as Trustee in Bankruptcy the nineteen theaters in Indiana formerly operated by Publix-Fitzpatrick-McElroy. In March 1933 the federal bankruptcy court auctioned the leases for eleven theaters formerly operated by the defunct chain. Through this process the Lake Theatre was sold in March 1933 to Maurice Rubin for $17,500.
