O.K. Theater

Whoa! Nice find, Ken! This is a completely new one on me.

I am wondering if this is an early name for the Ideal. The reason is that when I was researching the Ideal was unable to find any kind of grand opening notice or anything of that nature. It just kind of appeared in September 1914. If it had previously existed under another name and it simply changed monikers that September that would explain a lot – and assuming the handbill above is from Feb. 1914 (indicated by your post and the release year of “The Conspiracy”) the timeline fits. I’m fairly sure the “O.K. Theatre” as such wasn’t in existence much after that, or I think I or some other researcher would have stumbled across it. A delve into an old newspaper website might give us some some answers.
