The Straub Theatre, which later became the Frontier Theatre, was located on East Pine Avenue in Wiggins. The Straub was still operating at the end of December of 1960, the pllay bill for Christmas week of 1960 was “Comanchie Station” on Dec 23 and 24, closed Christmas day, “Home From The Hill” on Dec 26 & 27 and “All The Fine Young Cannibals” on Dec 28 & 29. On October of 1979 it is listed in an ad as the Frontier Theatre and is playing the Muppet Movie.
Suggest 203 E Pine. It looks like it could have been a theater, although now badly disfigured.
The Palace opened as early as 1925, and it became the Straub in 1945.
