The Gem Theatre opened in October of 1926 by Claude L. Thorp. He sold the theatre but apparently got it back in 1963 before fire decimated the theatre on May 29, 1963.

The May 29, 1963, fire that destroyed the Gem Theatre was noted in the June 3 issue of Boxoffice. Damage was estimated at $50,000. The theater had also suffered a major fire in 1952. The magazine had been unable to contact owner Claude Thorp to see if he intended to rebuild in Ryan or not. He also operated theaters in Waurika, Oklahoma, and Henrietta and Burkburnett, Texas.
