This is from Boxoffice magazine, January 1960:
HOMER, ILL.-William Blackford is managing the Homer Theater for his brother Harry of Urbana, who purchased the property recently from Oliver Ellis. Mr. Ellis sold the theater to be able to give more time to his duties as village police officer. He had owned the theater for seven years.
Harry Blackford, the new owner, is head of the painters' union in Champaign-Urbana. He plans to move his family here soon. Both Blackford brothers have had prior experience in motion picture exhibition.
