A reporter wrote in the April 1, 1928 issue of the Sandusky Register that Edwin Booth, brother of John Wilkes Booth, was “the greatest tragedian of his generation.” A crowded house attended the one night performance of Shakespeare’s Hamlet on the evening of March 11, 1882.
An article from the New York Times of April 25, 1880 praised Edwin Booth for his portrayal of Hamlet.

In perhaps its last incarnation before being razed, Biemiller's Opera House operated as the Sandusky Theater in the 1940's and early 50's. By then it had become quite a run-down (sometimes ran-infested) movie theater, featuring only "B" movies. The other (and more reputable) movie houses downtown in those days were the Plaza (next to the Sandusky Register building), the Ohio (on W. Market, near Manhattan Clothiers), and the venerable State Theatre, which had a bowling alley in the basement.
