Located just south of the Inner Harbor was the Casino Theatre. It was originally named the Wizard Theater when it first opened in 1906, becoming the Brodie Theatre in 1910 and was remodeled by architect J.C. Speddon in 1912.
It was remodeled by architect A. Lowther Forrest in 1925 and a new facade in a Spanish Colonial style was added. Reopening in October 1925, it was renamed Majestic Theatre by 1927/28.
Renamed Casino Theatre from December 25, 1936, it was a popular theatre in its day with its large marquee and ornamental facade. Further renovations were carried out in 1950 and it reopened as the Beacon Theatre, closing in early-June 1957.

Here are photos of the Casino Theater.
This building is for sale on loopnet, but it doesn’t look like the building in the Kilduff’s photos. Same address, though.

That is not this building. The address should be 1118 Light Street. An ad for the Brodie Theater gives an address range of 1114-1122.
That’s what I saw on one of the Kilduff’s photos. I know they did some renovation, but these are two different buildings.
Never assume that the address above is the correct one.
The address needs to be correct to 1118Light St. that was given by LM on 10/30/08. The wrong google view has been locked in also on the wrong street.
The facade was completely changed after a terrible fire in the early 1960’s. After the building was rebuilt it was the Pricess Shop and Kings Court until the late 1980s.
