The Penn Theatre, owned by the Columbia Amusement Company, opened September 15, 1927. The first movie shown was McFadden’s Flats. Frank W. Laird was the general contractor. Not sure who the architect was. I need a photo of the Penn from its days as a movie theater to use in a book I am writing. Please e-mail me at if you would like to contribute a picture.
