The “Theater Changes” report in Film Daily of June 18, 1936 listed the Gordon Theatre as a new house.
Shortly after it opened, a small fire badly damaged the projection booth on May 10, 1936 caused by an electric lamp explosion that also set fire to film cement and a roll of film. This occurred while John Baskett, its projectionist, was splicing film for his upcoming schedule. The fire destroyed nine reels of film alongside Baskett’s “broken” film.
