You might know of...Any interest in Ames theaters? <br /><br />You might know of Joe Gerbrach (aka Gerbracht), who ran movie houses in Ames from 1912-60, and was hooked up with the A.H. Blank concern during the thirties. <br /><br />Anyway - Joe's scrapbooks turned up last year in the hands of his daughter. The family had not wanted them touched for decades after Joe's suicide in 1964, in the face of a terminal illness. <br /><br />The materials are with the Ames Historical Society (ameshistoricalsociety.org). They show a rare glimpse into the work of a first rate regional showman and promoter!pwlsaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301642133484044429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21974251.post-11164542659968530522010-05-06T10:51:06.449-05:002010-05-06T10:51:06.449-05:00Do you know of any old theaters in Des Moines that...Do you know of any old theaters in Des Moines that still exist?
