This theater was open by 1914-15. It was located in the Healy Block, which is a two story double storefront commercial block with a Sioux quartzite facade. It was constructed in 1904. The 1911 map shows the ground floor used as a pool room. Judging by the capacity, this must have been in one half of the building. The address recently belonged to a bar in the northern half, which has closed.
