Ammon Shook opened his Family Theatre on May 17, 1913 in competition with the nearby Band Box Theatre operated by Mr. Palmer. When the two joined forces in 1915 the Band Box Theatre was closed and the Family Theatre rebranded with that name.
Mr. Shook actually purchased the building around 1925-26. He continued operating the theatre until he sold it to Harry Mitchell in 1934.

Uploaded a photo of a “Motion Picture House” that I found in the photo section of Facebook entries for Troy, PA. In several comments this was specifically mentioned as being the site of the Band Box. One comment said that a marquee was subsequently added. That would have been a real help in actually identifying the theatre. I thought the sign might be the entrance but one comment said it was the barber shop.
Another individual said they had seen an Elvis Presley movie there. This was the only reference I had come upon for the Band Box subsequent to the 1934 sale.
