This theatre is very unique at first, because it opened as the No-Name Theatre in early-September 1912 due to the theatre not having a name! But after just two months with a whole list of theatre names, the theatre became the Gem Theatre.
Last operated by A.F. Kneip who left Portage for Milwaukee’s Violet Theatre and as well as the company, the Gem Theatre closed in 1916.

According to the 1916 Motion Picture World the operation of the Gem was taken over by William Helmann who then abandoned the Majestic Theatre for this venue which had accommodations for fifty more patrons.
