The Admiral opened in 1928, seating 1340. The theater was designed by the firm of Hodgens & Hill and was located on 5th Street near Somerset Street. The Palace Theatre was located on the same block. The Admiral closed in 1976, and is today home to a church.

I completely forgot about this theater. Yes I did attend it as a child and remembered seeing "Babes In Toyland" there!
