A house in Middleport called the Gem Theatre was mentioned in the September 30, 1916 issue of The Moving Picture World. Then there is this item from the March 1, 1924 issue of the same journal:

:“MIDDLEPORT, O.— J. E. Lyons has plans by John Niskee, Huntington, W. Va., for one-story brick moving picture theatre, 113 by 36 feet.”
Middleport is mentioned again in the August 24, 1936 issue of The Film Daily:
“New Theater for Middleport

“Middleport, 0. — – Alpine Theater Co. has leased the Masonic Temple here for a theater, and work of remodeling will be started immediately. The same company is also re-conditioning a theater at Pomeroy.”

This undated photo from the Meigs County Library shows an early and quite attractive movie theater at left, but it is located on Mill Street. It’s name is not discernible Perhaps this was the Gem.
