The October 20, 1941 issue of Film Daily had an item listing several pieces of major equipment, including a screen and projection equipment, which had lately been installed at H. Jochim’s Pix Theatre in Luverne, Minnesota by the American Theatre Supply Co. of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. These were likely upgrades or updates, as the Pix was first listed in the FDY in 1937, suggesting an opening sometime in 1936. Herman Jochims (the correct spelling) had opened the Palace Theatre, aka New Opera House, in 1915.
The recent photo Life’s Too Short referred to immediately follows the vintage photo in btreat’s photostream. Also, I ought to have noted in my comment that my first link is the same vintage photo Life’s Too Short linked to.
Both photo links are the same.
The Pix Theatre building is now the HGS Gallery,which is at 208 E. Main Street.
Per second link above, address may have been 234 E. Main Street.
