A house called the Electric Theatre was in operation at Clear Lake by 1914 (listed in the American Motion Picture Directory) and still in operation in 1926 (mentioned in the July 15 issue of Film Daily even though not listed in that year’s FDY.) The AMPD listed in on “Main St.” I’ve also found the Palm mentioned in 1915 and 1918 and the Uptown mentioned in 1927. the earliest theater name I’ve found associated with Clear Lake is the Star, mentioned twice in 1907.

One was named the Palm and the other was named the Uptown, but I don’t know which one is which.
