Aladdin Theatre Corp. had an American theatre ? 1925-? 1930
The March, 1917, issue of The Doherty News has a bit of information about the America Theatre:
In its early days, the America Theatre had entrances on both 16th Street and Curtis Street, as can be seen in this 1922 photo from the Denver Public Library.The America Theatre’s Robert Morgan theater organ, installed in 1922, is now installed in the Broome Center for the Performing Arts (The Forum) in Binghamton, New York. A document from the Center says that the America Theatre closed in 1930 and was replaced by a ten-cent store. Here is the Cinema Treasure page for the Forum Theatre.
1920-1925 photo added credit Denver Public Library.
