The Midland Theatre was listed in several issue of Julius Cahn’s Theatrical Guide in the early 1900s. It was a ground-floor house of 983 seats.
In 1909, the Midland was included on a list of theater fires that had occurred so far that year, published in the August 18 issue of The Insurance Press The Midland Theatre fire had taken place on February 1, and had resulted in a loss estimated at $50,000.
There are postcards dated “circa 1910” on various Internet sites that show the Midland Theatre, but I’ve been unable to discover whether or not the house was actually rebuilt following the 1909 fire.
