This theater dates back to at least 1915, as the postcard with the Trolley Advertisement shows.

It was opened sometime prior to September 20, 1906, 9:30 PM as I have a postcard of the theatre with that postmark.

Closeups of the show signs include “Animated Photography” “Everything High Class” “Every Evening 8:00 Matinees” “The Murthalers” “Thatcher & Thatcher” and “Theresa Jacobs” One web site calls her a comedienne, another says she is “The Singing Swubreit”

According to Wikipedia’s site on Theatres of Omaha, The Strand showed the first color movie in an Omaha Theatre: The Black Pirate starring Douglas Fairbanks. That would have been in the 1950s, but the theatre burnt down in the 1920s. What gives?
