The Walker Theatre opened on December 26, 1927 with seating for 1500. It was considered the finest Negro theatre west of New York. For many years the Walker offered both motion pictures and vaudeville. The first group to appear at the Walker stage were Reginald Devalle and his Black Birds, with Lovy & Shorty. Mme. Walker passed away on May 25, 1919. The organist for the Walker theatre on the Barton-2M was Ms. Mary Signleton.
