The Gem Theatre’s first opening date was December 12, 1908. It featured both afternoon and evening performances, and promised a Sunday afternoon performance – “a new feature of the Gem.”

The first Gem Theatre in Gary was at 622 Broadway, advertising in December 1908 and January 1909. (A May 1909 article said that it had been in existence for over a year.) By January 21, 1909, the Gem Theatre relocated to the Beehive building at 722 Broadway. A January 25, 1912, article noted that a Gary businessman had leased the Beehive building for twelve years and two months. Upon expiration of the Gem lease on December 31, 1913, the space was to be converted into a clothing store.
