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.
The “Theater Changes” report in Film Daily of June 18, 1936 listed the Gordon Theatre as a new house.
