I have a photo of this theater. I will try to locate it and upload it for you.
The 400-seat Ideal Theatre was built in the new-build Morris Block opening on November 1, 1906 - the first movie theater in town with an inclined floor. And it had a penny arcade, to boot.
It became the Savoy on September 22, 1910 briefly becoming a live vaudeville venue. In December of 1917, it was closed for a remodeling and reopened on February 4, 1918 as the Liberty Theatre with “On Trial” supported by music from its Seeburg pipe organ.
The Liberty Theatre played “Ladder Jinx” on May 5, 1923 and, after hours, it was destroyed by fire in the early hours of May 6, 1923. The nearby Strand Theatre was destroyed by fire just months later on October 26, 1923.
