The Bartlett Theatre opened in 1912. It closed in 1951. In the late 1960’s it re-opened briefly as the Highwood Theatre which lasted a couple of years or so. From 1971 until 1975 it operated as the Cinema Club showing X-rated movies.
The theatre is now a Mexican grocery store.

In the 1960s, local opera singer Gloria Lind floated an idea to turn the theater into an opera house. (Highwood has a large Italian population.) I do not recall reading any follow-up after the initial announcement.
