I don’t know much about the history of the theatre, but we recently purchased a home in Berwick and found 3 photo quality flyers advertising Shirley Temple in “Stowaway” for a continuous showing beginning New Year’s day, running through January 5th, 1937. So it was open at least by 1937. The front of the poster is a picture of Santa Claus with Shirley Temple’s face superimposed over his and says “Best wishes for happy holidays- Shirley Temple”
