The Story of the Kallet Theater
On October 6, 1881, Pulaski suffered a major fire that was so disastrous that “more than sixty persons or firms suffered loss of property.” The burned district, comprising the entire business part of the village, extended from North Park to the iron bridge and from Salmon River to the west side of Broad street. The principal sufferers were Dr. James N. Betts. The loss prompted Betts to construct something new, something that would give back to the community.
In 1883, the Betts Opera House opened for business. Francis Hohman became the proprietor of the opera house and the name was changed to the Hohman Opera House in 1908. Hohman, along with his family operated the Opera House later calling it the Pulaski Opera House, and eventually operated it as a movie house called the Pulaski Theatre. In 1924 the Pulaski Lodge I.O.O.F. (International Order of Odd Fellows) submitted plans to the state labor commission for a building, to occupy the vacant lots on the east side of Jefferson St. between the Opera House and F.P. Bett’s Store. It opened in February 1925 and would be called the Temple Theatre. Tragically, The Hohman Opera House was destroyed by fire in January of 1934.
