The actual opening date is November 16, 1933 with Spencer Tracy in “Man’s Castle” along with several short subjects (one of which is the technicolor short “Operator’s Opera”).

Sorry for the off topic nature of this post, but for some reason I’ve been getting notices regarding this theater and not only have I not subscribed to this particular thread, but until now I’ve never posted here. How is this possible? Methinks there are Ubangi’s in the fuel supply!
This building was involved in a downtown fire on May 22, 2004. Pictures can be seen at: View link .
