Two items about the Temple Theatre appear in the November 3, 1917 issue of Moving Picture World, with one inconsistency. One says “Temple theater has been reopened by Charles Auble” and a slightly longer one says “[t]he new Temple theater in the Odd Fellows' building has been opened by Charles Auble. It will be operated with five and ten cent admission.”
I’ve been unable to discover when the IOOF temple was built, but the style looks post-1900, so it could have been a fairly new building when the theater opened. It still has the IOOF insignia on the façade, though it does not appear to be a lodge hall anymore. It is not listed on the NRHP, nor is it listed as a Michigan State Historic Sight.
