The Globe Theatre was opened by 1912. The 1914 Sanborn shows this theatre operating in a 2-story wooden structure. It is unclear when this was built, but on the 1908 map, it is a clothing store. Conversion to a theatre was likely basic, and appears to have only entailed replacing the back walls with tile brick. Even the wall separating a storeroom at the rear remained. It was closed on July 17, 1916.
This building was long ago demolished, and the site is currently occupied by a drab little office.

The June 24, 1916 issue of The Moving Picture World had an item about Wagner and Wishart’s new Paramount Theatre, which was soon to open. It said that the partners had “…conducted the Globe theater in Connellsville for the last four years….” so the Globe must have been in operation by 1912. The article also noted that the Globe would be closed when the Paramount opened and its space would be converted to retail use. The Paramount opened on July 18, so July 17 was most likely that last day of operation for the Globe.
