kencmcintyre commented about Alhambra Theatre on Jun 25, 2009 at 5:06 pm

Here is an article from the Indianapolis Star, dated 10/10/15:

The most important transaction of the year in the local amusement field was completed yesterday when B.V. Barton and Charles M. Olson acquired the Alhambra Theater from Dickson & Talbot, the new owners taking possession immediately. The terms of the deal were not given out.

Barton and Olson are owners of the Lyric and Isis theaters on North Illinois Street and have been active in the motion picture and vaudeville business for several years. Barton established the second motion picture house opened in Indianapolis. The sale of the Alhambra marks the retirement from the amusement business of Dickson & Talbot. At one time they controlled and operated the English, the old Grand and the old Park (now the Lyceum) Theaters here, and they also owned and operated theaters in Dayton and Columbus, Ohio.

Dlckson & Talbot entered the motion picture field several years ago in conjunction with the late C.L. Sutherland. They built the Orpheum and Alhambra Theaters. Shortly after this they retired from the operation of their legitimate playhouses here and at Dayton and Columbus, letting them to the firm of Anderson & Ziegler. On the death of Mr. Sutherland they determined to retire from the amusement business.

The Alhambra is one of the most completely equipped motion picture theaters in the city. Mr. Barton said that some changes may be made in the policy of the house, and future plans include remodeling the front of the theater building. For the present, however, it will continue along the lines established by Dickson & Talbot.
