The Almira Theatre was opened in 1927. It was equipped with a Wurlitzer theatre organ that was originally installed in the Almira Theatre on 29th August 1927. It was a 2 manual, 7 ranks instrument.
The organ was transferred from here and installed into the Rex Cinema/ABC, Stratford, London, England, UK on 15th September 1934.
The Almira Theatre was closed in 1950.

The Almira was located a block off Loraine Ave, the main street of Cleveland’s west side. Many theaters were located on Lorain. I was never in the building, however as a child in the 50’s I remember seeing it as I would ride by on the bus to downtown. It closed in the early 1950’s, maybe 53 or 54. It was converted into a church. When I returned to Cleveland in 2003, I drove past the building and found that the front end had been completely rebuilt and there is no longer on outward evidents of the theatre. It is still being used as a church.
could you please send me info. on this theater and a picture if possible
