Here is an item about the Orpheum from the January 6, 1917 issue of Motion Picture News: “INDIANA.—Lafayette: James L. Sheetz has purchased the Orpheum theatre, Lafayette, Indiana, from Charles Reichard and John Chamberlin. Mr. Sheetz will make extensive changes in the interior of the building. The seats will be rearranged, a new booth placed in the front of the house and a new lobby installed."

The Orpheum was still in operation as late as 1923, when the September 1 issue of Moving Picture World said that the house had been bought by Brooks Nixon.
