A Compton Nickelodeon was listed at 3204 Easton Avenue in Gould’s 1909 St. Louis city directory. In the 1914-1915 AMPD it was listed as The Compton, Compton and Easton Aves. The AMPD listed the Knickerbocker Theatre, Park and Compton Aves. the original Compton must have closed by 1934 when the Knickerbocker/Park was renamed Compton.
Theatre operated from 1910 to 1949.
Original name was KNICKERBOCKER; became the PARK IN 1930; and, finally, the COMPTON in 1934.
Built by the Freund Brothers.
Architect was William Wedemeyer.
