Kearse Theatre

Viewing: Photo | Street View

This nearly-2000 seat theater opened in 1922 on Summers Street between Fife and Quarrier Streets. In the 1945 Film Daily Yearbook, the Kearse is shown as being open. Listed to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, the theater was nonetheless demolished three years later.

Any further information on the Kearse Theatre would be appreciated.

I don’t have any photos, but this is the nomination form for the National Register of Historic Places. There is alot of information about the former building on that form.

You need the Adobe Reader to open this up, I think. As LM said, there is a wealth of info on the Kearse when you read through the form.
