The Green Lake was considered a very modern theater when it opened on August 5, 1937. An ad declared it “As Modern as Tomorrow.” It was acclaimed as one of the Northwest’s finest theaters with its Mirrophonic sound, air conditioning, and a capacity of 750 patrons — “every seat a loge chair.”
On opening night, the movie shown was “3 Smart Girls” starring Deanna Durbin.
At some point the theater’s address was changed. The grand opening ad lists the address at 7111 Woodlawn Avenue.
The Green Lake Theater closed in 1950.
History, ad and photo are here.

Unfortunately, Issuu’s scan of the magazine loses part of the text in the fold between pages, but Boxoffice of October 16, 1937, ran an illustrated article about the new Green Lake Theatre. There’s even a photo of the architect of the house, the prolific Bjarne Moe.
