The Arsenal Theatre was located at the corner of South Grand and Arsenal in St. Louis. There was no street address given in the phone book of that era. There was a Kilgen theatre pipe organ installed in the Arsenal that according to the Kilgen ledger was previosly the same organ that was in the Pershing Theatre in St. Louis. It was opus 3149 and was a 3m/13r instrument. It is unclear if the organ was first in the Pershing then the Arsenal or vice versa. Wherabouts are unknown. I presume the theatre was on the southwest corner.

The location given would make the address 3103 S. Grand Blvd., St. Louis, Mo. 63118. In its life it was also a Walgreens followed by another drug store and later Botanicals on the Park. The Ritz Theatre was located a block and a half south.
The original name of this venue was the GRAND-ARSENAL.
The address according to the St. Louis Public Library was 3101-03 South Grand Ave., St. Louis, Mo. JAlex correct this if it is wrong.
Had a capacity of 657. Theatre closed in June 1932.
That corner shop where the theatre entrance used to be has sure seen its share of shops. I think it is an ice cream shop now.
