The Globe Theatre was located directly across Suffolk Street from The Suffolk Theatre and was a second and third-run theater for many years. The Globe was especially known for westerns and serials. A bowling alley was located directly above the theater which made for an interesting "sound" experience at times.

The Globe was closed and demolished in the early 1950s.

There is a MGM Theatre Photograph and Report form for the Globe Theatre at 26 Suffolk St. in Holyoke. It has a photo of the entrance taken in May 1941. There is a rain canopy over the sidewalk but it doesn’t appear to be a real movie marquee. Above, on the 2nd floor are windows in which there are big letters spelling out “Alleys”, undoubtedly for the bowling alley up there. The Report states that the Globe has been a MGM customer for 2 years; that it was built about 1920; that it’s in Poor condition; and has 440 seats, apparently all on one floor.
