The Acme theatre opened in 1914. S.P. Slotnick owned the Acme Theatre in the 1930’s when it was given a Streamline Moderne style makeover. It was closed on November 29, 1953 with Gary Cooper in “Return to Paradise” & Edward G. Robinson in “Big Leaguer”. The building was destroyed by fire and hour after the final screening.

The Acme Amusement Company built the Acme Theater in 1913 launching in 1914. The theatre installed sound to remain viable. The final showings at the theatre were Gary Cooper in “Return to Paradise” and Edward G. Robinson in “Big Leaguer” on November 29, 1953. Fire just an hour after the final showtime consumed the building whose remains were demolished not long after.
