The theatre was on the main street (Berlin Road, probably a 2 – 3 block walk from the entrance to Clementon Lake Park. I was actually last there in 1976 when I moved away, but grew up there from 1955-until I left in 1976. It was a wonderful place to be a child — unfortunately I don’t think I knew that then

The Clementon Theatre was later named The Kate Smith Theatre when the town was trying to breathe some life into the downtown area in the early 60’s. One by one, the wonderful shops accidentally caught on fire as the new Grant City shopping complex took away their business. The theatre was demolished in the mid to late 60’s — don’t remember exactly when – but it had been closed for a while.
