Gresham Theater

The Gresham Theatre made its first appearance in the FDY in the 1927 edition. Gresham was not listed in the 1926 FDY, so it’s likely that the house opened that year, after the FDY was compiled. The photos of the theater clearly show a style characteristic of the mid to late 1930s, so it must have been either remodeled or moved to a new building during that era. The obituary of Rose Moyer in the May 3, 1976 issue of Boxoffice said that she and her husband Larry opened the Gresham in 1938, so they might have been responsible for any remodeling or rebuilding that took place then.
