Alterations were made to the Cane Theatre in 1954, with plans by Lake Charles architect John M. Gabriel. Given the timing, it’s likely the alterations were related to the installation of CinmaScope in the house.
The Cane Theatre opened its doors on April 17, 1938 with Dick Powell in “Hollywood Hotel” along with an unnamed cartoon, a newsreel, and Mr. John J. O'Neil performing on its Hammond Electric Organ entitled “Music You Love To Hear”. It was closed on November 16, 1974 with Walt Disney’s “The Castaway Cowboy” and “The Absent-Mined Professor”.
