Here is an item about the Temple Theatre from the August 30, 1919 issue of Moving Picture World:

“THE Temple Theatre Building, at the corner of Main street and Lincoln highway, Mishawaka, Ind., has been purchased from the Mishawaka Lodge of Masons by L. J. Lambiotte, proprietor of the theatre. The consideration involved in the transaction has not been made public.

“Mr. Lambiotte has announced that he will remodel the structure throughout and will equip it with all modern appliances. The seating capacity of the house will be doubled by utilizing the room now occupied by the Western Union Telegraph Company. The theatre will be operated strictly as a photoplay house.”
