Boxoffice, March 21, 1953: “DEL MORTE (sic), COLO. - William A. Simon, formerly of the Grand Theatre in Rocky Ford, purchased the Princess Theatre here. He takes over the house about April 1.”
The Princess Theatre was on the ground floor of the Kiel & Warren Building, built in 1883, which originally housed on its second floor a theater listed in the 1889 Jeffery’s guide as the Del Norte Opera House, with 300 seats. The Princess Theatre was in operation by 1918. The upstairs opera house was converted into a dance hall. The building was demolished in the 1960s, according to its brief entry on this web page.
