Universal Theatre

A ‘Moving Picture’ theatre appears on the May 1911 Sanborn, in an old wood frame building that had been built prior to 1893. This location was a grocery and restaurant in 1904.

By the 1921 map, this structure was again home to a restaurant. The current building is quite a bit deeper, but it is possible that it’s an extensive remodel rather than a replacement.

Holyoke had a movie house called the Universal Theatre in 1918. It was one of the theaters listed in ads for the official U.S. government war propaganda film “Pershing’s Crusaders” that were run in various trade journals in August and September that year. These are the only mentions of the Universal I’ve found in the trades, and I’ve found no other Holyoke theaters mentioned until the Peerless appears in 1925.
