38 Jennings Avenue was the address for this theatre that closed as the Savoy Theatre on March 28, 1919 with live operatic performances. The building was converted later in the year to an auto garage.
This web pageis primarily about the second Majestic, with a focus on Harry Houdini’s appearance there in 1916, but there are three images about a third of the way down that pertain to the first Majestic. Most useful is the map, which shows the dormitories of St. Ignatius Academy, still standing across Jennings Avenue from the Savoy’s site. A line drawn through the axis of that building also passes through the Savoy building, allowing us to see that the theater stood just where the realigned Texas Street connects with the west side of Jennings Avenue.
This web page has four photos, and the one at upper right shows the side of the Savoy, probably around 1920. The wall has a sign, partly obscured, that appears to say “Professional Stock” indicating that for at least part of its history the Savoy operated as a legitimate house.
This reopened as the Savoy on November 13th, 1911. 1905 and 1911 grand opening ads and articles uploaded in the photo section for this theatre.
