The final presentation was a four-walled film presentation, “The Life of Christ” - not a play.
In the show store era, this address was home to the Dreamland Theatre opening September 15, 1909. In 1917, a Mr. Bloom took over the operation and created the Liberty Theatre which launched here September 28, 1917. The owners skipped town leaving financial liabilities behind in 1918. The next two names for the venue in the silent era were as the Diamond Theatre and, when Alice T. Hamly took on the venue as Hamly’s Theatre: The House of Comfort on August 27, 1925 with “Lure of the Yukon.” The venue transitioned to sound under its final name of the Rex Theatre. The final screening appears to be a four-wall presentation of “The Life of Christ” on October 16, 1935.
