Opened in 1915 by the Model theater Company, at a cost of $100,000. Seats were 5 and 15 cents. Interior was made to resemble a classic art gallery. Had live entertainment with movies through the 1920s and 1930s.

The Gammel chain took over around 1940, and ran the theater until the end, in 1956. It was razed shortly thereafter.

Genesee Street in Buffalo had seven theaters in 1950 and only one by
1958.
