The April 17, 1920 issue of Moving Picture World reported that the formal grand opening of the Venengo Theatre in Oil City had taken place on March 22. As the item specifies that this was the formal opening, it’s possible that the house had already been informally opened to the public earlier.
An Oil City Derrick article says that the Venango Theatre was at 228 Seneca Street. The well-maintained brick building is still standing, currently shared by a hair styling salon and an office. It’s right next door to the I.O.O.F. building.
