The Electric Theatre’s building was known as the Powell Building when J.T. Ogle opened the theater on August 2, 1907, but unfortunately the management did receive trouble due to major crowding that causes a lack of room in the auditorium.
The Electric Theatre was renamed the Gem Theatre in January 1914 while being managed by H.L. Crockett.
Once operated by the Dubinsky Brothers.
The building has been retail or offices for many years. Not too badly remodeled.
By 1921, the Gem was being operated by J. R. Pratt, owner of Pratt’s Theatre. Pratt’s Theatre was primarily a live house but sometimes showed movies. The August 7, 1920, issue of Exhibitors Herald mentioned both houses in one item:
The Gem Theatre was still listed as open in 1957 with 500 seats. The address is 12 W. 6th Street, Fulton, MO. 65251
