The only headline I can find about the Strand is that the one-and-only Marengo native Mr. John C. Miller operated the Strand until December 1918 when the theater was purchased by C.W. Ritt, who was a former news depot in Woodstock, as the Strand was undergoing some extensive changes.
Mr. John C. Miller along with his wife Mrs. John C. Miller would later open up the famous Miller Theatre (named after themselves) almost a decade later on November 8, 1927.
