Fond du Lac Electric Theater

“Electric Theatre” was the early British term to denote film theatres without stage shows, which later came to be called cinemas. Little is known of the two that Trinz built in Milwaukee in the same year, 1907, but both were designed by the same architect: Nicholas Dornbach. This was the slightly larger of the two at 300 seats, and had these other names throughout its life: OLYMPIA, IDEAL, and STAR. The TRINZ ELECTRIC THEATRE on Mitchell Street became a fabric store; this one was demolished.
