Hi, David. Do you have any documentation confirming that Isadore Levey was the manager of the Columbia Theatre? Contemporary articles and advertisements state that Messrs. Keating & Flood were the proprietors and managers when the theater opened in 1907, and then Ben Dillon and Will King ran the theater starting in 1911. I can’t find any mention of Isadore Levey in any Oakland newspapers, nor any connection between Bert and the Columbia.
