Opened as a vaudeville house in the early 1900s on the Boardwalk at St. Charles Place. In 1926 it became the first theatre in the city to install Vitaphone for sound when Warner Brothers released its first sound film, Don Juan. In 1928 when the Warner Theatre opened, it turned into a burlesque house and remained as such until it closed in the 1960's.

Any additional information on this theatre would be greatly appreciated.

According to Craig Morrison's book "Theaters", this was originally built in 1913, Magaziner & Potter architects. Originally the New Nixon Theatre. 2,227 seats, but (according to Marquee, 1980, v. 1), reduced to 1,400 upon conversion to movies in 1926. Had burlesque in 30's.

There used to be a great group of posts here, but I guess an internet glich wiped thm out. Hopefully, the automatic email system will forward this poet to the former posters, and they will re-post.
I'm a Three Stooges researcher, who finally found out what happened to Burlesque dancer & talking woman Dorothy DeHaven, who was in the Stooge's 1946 short "Three Little Pirates".
I have been searching for information about the Globe, and the filming of a Burlesque ahow there in 1961, called "Scanty Panties". It starred Virginia "Ding Dong" Bell, Billy "Cheese and Crackers" Hagan, Maxie Furman and Alma Maiben, among others.
Anyone with ANY information, please email me at fereighter@aol.com Thanks,

Can anyone pinpoint for me, please, which of the two corners this was on? Did it face the ocean or was it on St. Charles Place?
