Many other theaters came and went in the Manistique Community, such as the Princess Theatre, which was located on South Cedar Street and in business from 1907 to 1917. The Rex Theater and Photo-Play Theater also had short life spans. The Cedar Theater opened in the 1930’s and ran until the 1950’s. This picture shows the inside of the Gero Theater when it still was an opera house.
In 1916, Benjamin Gero Jr. and his brother Paul converted it into the Gero Theater for screening silent movies, and in 1929, talking pictures were introduced and shown. Interesting enough Mrs. Osterhout would play the piano during the silent movies. In 1941, the theater became the Oak Theater under the ownership of J.L. Le Duc.
