The Moveum Theatre operated from 1909. It later became the Electric Theatre and finally the Rialto Theatre which closed in 1937 when a new Rialto Theatre opened at a different address (It has its own page on Cinema Treasures). The Moveum Theatre building is still standing today as a Radio Shack.

This is the original Moveum Theatre which was located at 211 Minnesota Avenue N, and is still standing today as a Radio Shack. It was renamed the Electric and then possibly Rialto before the new one was built at a different address. The Moveum operated 1909-1937. Though this photo was dated 1905, so possibly opened earlier.
