The Delmar Theatre opened on April 15, 1910. Retiring owner Hector M.E. Pasmezogla sold of the Delmar Theatre and Airdome at the end of a 15-year leasing option to Maurice Stahl of the Union, Mikado and Aubert Theatre. He also sold the Criterion and Congress leases to two other folks on August 3, 1925.

Stahl changed the name of the venue to the Embassy Theater and Airdome in August of 1925. Pasmezogla returned to the venue and conducted a major refresh in 1931 in which the venue lost the airdome becoming the Uptown Theater opening October 24, 1931 with “Street Scene.” Seven months later, the Uptown was sold in forecloure.

The Uptown closed on February 5, 1952 with “Outlaw Women” and “Geisha Girl.” It was used by a youth church as a house or worship and for sporadic live events.
