The Garrick reopened in 1927 to play movies after The Majestic was closed.

The February 7, 1903, issue of The News Journal of Wilmington said that construction would soon begin on William Dockstader’s new theater at 828-839 Market Street.
The plans for the project had been drawn by the noted Philadelphia architect George L. Lovatt. Lovatt is best known for the many Roman Catholic churches he designed, mostly in Pennsylvania.
This opened on November 23rd, 1903. Its grand opening ad can be found in the photo section.
