Where was The Columbia Theater located in 1908?

1926 The great Harry Houdini died at the age of 52. Houdini introduced his famous“Milk Can Escape” at the Columbia Theater in St. Louis on January 27, 1908. The handcuffed magician escaped from a padlocked over sized milk can filled with water. In 1922, He escaped from the best straitjacket in the St. Louis Police Homicide
Department’s wardrobe—while suspended from the 5th floor of city hall.
