Another ‘5¢ Theatre’ appearing on the 1909 Sanborn, this small theatre was operating in the northern half of the ground floor of a 2-story brick commercial building, likely a modification of a building originally constructed before 1885. The second floor extended only about half the depth of the building. In 1902, the whole structure was a clothing store.
The Ideal Theatre suffered damage from a fire on April 28, 1915. It was repaired and had reopened by January 1, 1916, renamed Cort Theatre. It remained in operation on the 1916 map. It was demolished in 1917.
