The Logan theatre at Logan, Iowa is mentioned in the July 13, 1935 issue of Motion Picture Herald. The Manager was named L. H. Ireland. Evidence that the Logan might have been the Pastime is found in this item from the October 15, 1927 issue of Movie Age: “Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Ireland of the Pastime Theatre at Logan, Ia., were visitors at the Exchange Bldg., last week.”

The Logan was in operation at least as late as 1961, when this notice appeared in the July 24 issue of Boxoffice: “Ken Moore has closed his Logan Theatre at Logan, Iowa, but he will reopen in September.” The august 14 issue of the same journal noted that Mr. Moore had been hospitalized due to a heart condition. The August 28 issue said that Mr. Moore had gone to Ireland to recuperate from a heart attack. The September issue had no news about either Mr. Moore or the theater, so I don’t know if he managed to reopen it or not.
