The Zorn Theatre launched on February 8, 1928 with Mrs. Wallace Reid in “The Satin Woman.”
Boxoffice, Aug. 13, 1979: “Marvin Sigwing is closing the Zorn Theatre, Benkleman (sic), Neb. Sigwig had operated the theatre for the past 14 years and has sold the house to a group of local merchants. It has not been determined whether the new owners will reopen the facility as a theatre on a regular basis or as a community art-type center.”
Motion Picture Herald, Nov. 20, 1948: “Merle Gwinn, RKO salesman, resigns and buys Zorn, Benkelman, Neb.”
Still showing first run attractions every week end.
In 2008 the Zorn was used for musical performances. Perhaps that should be an added function.
