The Theatre Historical Society archive has the MGM Theatre Report for the Strand; it’s Card # 384. Address is Main Street in “Jackman Station”. There is an exterior photo dated May 22, 1941. Condition is Poor. The report says that the Strand opened about 1919, was showing MGM films, and had 300 seats. The 1940 population was 1,000.
The Cinema Data Project file for the Strand lists it in “Jackman Plantation”, while the MGM report says it was in “Jackman Station”. I have heard of the latter and I think it refers to the section of town where the Canadian Pacific Railway station was located. I was in Jackman twice, in 1953 and 1956, and don’t recall the theater. But the town was way out in the “boonies”.
