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”.

What was this Theater called? We are in the process of opening it as an Art Gallery and would love more information about it.
