Was it ever renamed the Lake? Here’s a note from the Jan. 15, 1949 issue of Boxoffice:
JOHNSTOWN, COLO. – With an extension of 25 feet to the building, the newly reopened Lake Theatre now has more room for patrons between seat rows. Each seat has been reupholstered and respaced. A new stage, suitable for local and professional use, and complete with a new stage curtain, has also been erected. Other improvements include a new screen which is twice as large as the old one, two modern restrooms, new acoustical wall coverings and new overhead and wall lights.
And from the July 22, 1950 issue:
JOHNSTOWN, COLO. – A Wurlitzer electric organ has been installed in the Lake Theatre here and is being used for a brief program which is featured nightly between shows. Dave Warnock, owner and operator of the theatre, is the organist.
