The Gala grand opening of the theater was on November 11, 1929. It opened with the “Fox All Talking Picture, ‘Big Time’, with Lee Tracey, Mae Clark, and Stepin Fetchit…” – Milwaukee Journal, November 11, 1929. According to the article the building had a capacity of 1,500 although that probably was the fire code limit and not seating capacity.
