Theatre opened in December 1937.

Architect was Bruce F. Barnes.

Theatre one of the Black-patronage theatres in the city.

Fanchon & Marco not connected to the operation.

Structure stands today…unused, however.

I just found out that my mom and her siblings used to attend this theatre regularly when they were younger. To the best of my knowledge, I’ve never been here. And I certainly don’t remember this theatre being open in the mid-1980s (when I last lived in St. Louis)
