Bassetters got to see movies twice a week back in 1910. The March 24 issue of the Rock County Leader had this report:

“Chester Stockwell and J.T. Mudd have installed a moving picture machine in the opera house and intend giving a good moving picture show two nights a week, Wednesday and Saturdays. Their first appearance was Saturday evening and they certainly gave a first class show and a good house.”
I haven’t been able to find out anything else about the opera house, but I’ve found nothing at all about the Gem, and the only mentions of the Kozy I’ve found are in lists of theaters showing The March of Time in 1938.
