The June 24, 1916, issue of The Moving Picture World reported with the dateline Canistota that “Dr. Clark’s new theater here will cost $10,000.”

Mrs. W.C. Clark, manager of the house, said that the Clark Theatre had installed new Kroehler push-back chairs and a new sound system, and that the lobby had been redecorated, according to an item in the July 26, 1946, issue of The Montrose Herald.

I’m not sure if it is the same theater under a new name, but Boxoffice of April 27, 1959, reported that the Canistota Theatre in Canistota would be reopened after having been closed for two years. New owner B.G. Pletan planned to install a wide screen. The Canistota Theatre was in operation at least as late as January, 1963.
