The Odeon Two was a World War I era silent movie house. It was located around the corner to the very successful Odeon Theatre in an existing retail building. H.K. Kincey later operated it, the Odeon Theatre, the Strand Theatre and the Colonial Theatre in the 1910’s. The Odeon Two launched on December 19, 1912 with Nat C. Goodwin in “Oliver Twist”. Two months later, the Odeon Theatre was renamed the Odeon One Theatre.

The Odeon Two closed on July 30, 1919 with Lloyd Hamilton in “Hams Easy Eats” and a serial, “The Perils of Thunder Mountain”. Kincey cited termination of lease and the serial continued at the Colonial Theatre. The former Odeon Two venue was leased to new tenants who created a restaurant there. For reasons that aren’t particularly clear, the Odeon One retained the “One” until April of 1922 despite the lack of a “Two” in nearly three years.
