Even though ads in the Post-Dispatch ceased in January 1953, the theatre continued to operate running ads in the Globe-Democrat and the Argus. These ads last ran on March 6, 1953 with the apparent final bill being “Across the Wide Missouri” and “Fearless Fagan.”

Late in 1942 the property was purchased by Sam Komm. However, theatre continued to be operated by St. Louis Amusement as that firm held a long-term lease.

The original architect of the Aubert Theatre was Paul Klingensmith. The Aubert was on a list of theaters in a booklet published by the Federal Concrete Tile Company, which features a photo of it at the bottom of this page.

I found a photo from the theater’s opening – the article is from the Globe-Democrat and is dated February 4, 1923, indicating that the Aubert opened February 8, 1923. I’ll try to post the photo.

This tribute to a former judge mentions that he was once the manager of the Aubert. See page 15.

I had some problems mapping this, as it kept putting me in DeSoto, MO. I’m not sure what the problem is.
