What was once the cira-1930s Benson Theater on E. 4th Street is now an antiques store. The theater had been destroyed by a blaze, and the store built in the shell of the former movie house.

What was this Theater called? We are in the process of opening it as an Art Gallery and would love more information about it.
Boxoffice ran an article about E. A. “Pa” Brown, the operator of the Benson Theatre, in its July 7, 1951 issue. It included a photo of Brown, then 82 years old. He began managing the Beacon Theatre and Dance Hall in 1930, but “(t)he theatre originally managed by Brown has long given way to a new house, the only theatre in town. The seating capacity is 418”.
