The Empire Theater opened around 1921. The owner was Mr. Miyamoto. The Empire Theater closed in 1940 and was used as a bowling alley. Today, the main building is used by the Island Dance Academy and the former lobby is used by the Empire Cafe.

The quality isn’t the best, but there is a 1930’s photo of the Empire theater here:

I photographed the Empire on October 21, 2008. It dosen’t appear to have much going on. The Empire Cafe appears to be closed.
