Uselessly bad listing. Main St is all residential. I assume this was somewhere on Reed. Probably demolished.

The Norka Theatre opened its doors on November 23, 1940 with a Saturday matinee of “Grand Ole Opry” and “Charlie Chan at the Wax Museum” with no extra short subjects.

  • The Norka’s first normal attraction was the following day with Gloria Jean in “A Little Bit Of Heaven” with no extras.

The Norka closed in late-1975.

This replaced an earlier theater known as the Empress Theatre (and yes, the Empress was once known as the Norka Theatre).
