In 1910 my Grandfather worked there. In the 1910 census for Fayette City, Otto Bielawsky AKA Otto Belasco’s occupation was listed as Musician and his place of employment was Picture Show. The Theater is a whole lot older than what was stated.

My Grandfather Otto Belasco was the projectionist there sometime in the 1930’s prior to his death in 1935. He worked in various theaters in the western PA area. He used the assumed surname Belasco. He was an accomplished musician and would accompany the silent films on piano.
