The Gem is listed at 1947 Winnebago Street in the 1919 city directory, but the next edition available online, 1921, list that as the address of the Palace Theatre. The Palace is listed in the FDY through the 1933 edition, then vanishes. When the seating capacity is given it is 300.

Status should be closed/demolished. This theatre building and adjoining structures have been razed and a new development built on the property.

Here is a direct link to the 1915 photo of the Gem Theatre.

A list of movie theaters opened in Madison between 1911 and 1914 includes the Gem.
