Ionia also had two other early theaters, with one called the Family Theatre and the other called the Rex Theatre. I cannot find as much detail about the two rather than both were operated by Frederick Jacobi, and the Family once suffered damage by a storm in September 1915.
Opened on November 19, 1999 with “The Magic Of Flight”. It originally housed 400 seats.
Closed on August 13, 1963 with “Thrill Of It All” and “The Proper Time”.
It probably continued operating without advertising, which is strange.
A 1986 aerial view shows the theater with its screen and glory, but was removed by 1988.
Located across the street from the former Ionia Drive-In.

Renamed the Cranford Theatre in February 1927.
Did that religious meeting place after the older Cranford Theatre closed in July 1910 also housed a church or no?
