This early theatre appears on the February 1913 Sanborn, in the basement of an old one-story wooden storefront. The building was likely constructed sometime before 1886, and the main level had held a clothing store since at least 1899.
This facility was likely neither large nor luxurious, and it had closed by 1921, when a tin shop had taken over the space.
The building still exists, modified and updated. It had been a home decor shop, but appears to be vacant.
