The former Barracks theatre of Jefferson Barracks is now St. Bernadette RC Church. The building was bought from the government for $1.00 Inside , the projection booth wall is now opened into the sanctuary and the electronic organ and choir now sit in that area. The address the church uses is 68 Sherman Rd.

From newspaper ads, theatre operated from 1948 to 1950.

There is a photo here. Lemay is perhaps a St. Louis suburb.

I was told that sale of the building was for $1.00 back in the late 40’s.
