On May 1, 1918, the name was changed to the Rex Theatre, operated my Mr. and Mrs. Henry Liesenfeld, previous owners of the Dome Theatre. The opening film was Ruth Clifford and Monroe Salisbury in “The Savage”.
In 1920 the Rex Theatre was converted to stores and apartments. The building has since been demolishedfor a parking garage.
