February 12, 1925, Menasha Record
Some neat stuff in this issue of the Menasha Record, not the least of which is the Orpheum movie listings. In case you didn't know, Tom Mix was the Roy Rogers of the silent era. I've included a photo of the movie palace below, in case you haven't seen it before. The Orpheum, later known as the Valley, was on the south side of Main Street, about where the marina is today. And it predated the Brin, which didn't open until Christmas Day, 1928.

And you can find another photo of the Orpheum at this link, depicting a World War I parade: https://menashabook.blogspot.com/2013/10/orpheum-theatre.html
