The projectors from this cinema have been preserved and are to go into a museum exhibit.

The operation of the theater was taken over in the late-1920s by a local man, C.L. Beede. For many years it was opened 3 nights per week in the summer, 2 nights per week the remainder of the year. There were no matinee showings.
