Opened on May 4, 1911, closed in Spring 1960.
The Gem Theatre at Platteville is listed in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory. A second house called the Lyric Theatre was also listed.
Mr. & Mrs. John O'Conner mentioned above, apparently also managed the nearby Avalon Theatre at one time.
Correction: Across from the Tracy Hotel, but still operated by Jack & William Tracy originally.
