A capsule movie review by Ray Hollingshead of the Gem Theatre, Odin, Illinois, Appeared in the October 20, 1951 issue of Boxoffice. Mr. Hollingshead highly (no pun intended) recommended the exploitation film “Marijuana”, which he said brought in good business both nights that it ran.
Back in 1949, the Gem was offered for sale in the classified section of the January 15 issue of Boxoffice. The house was being sold due to the dissolution of a partnership. $8,000 was the required down payment for the 268-seat theater in the town of 1,850 population.
