Here is an item from the “Chicago Letter” column of Moving Picture World, April 13, 1912:

“J. E. Becknell, manager of the Marion Theater, Iron Mountain, Mich., was a visitor at the office of the World last week. He will be remembered as the manager of the Merritt and Victoria theaters of Chicago. The Marion was opened January 1st. It has a capacity of 395, representing an investment of $5,000. It is owned by Mr. Becknell and Mrs. Marion Higgie.”
The item did not mention that for some years Mr. Becknell had been manager of the Bijou Theatre in Iron Mountain.
