The 1909 edition of Gould’s St. Louis City Directory lists the Alcazar Theatre. Gould’s directories ran through April of the following year, so editions must have been published by the first of May each year. The Alcazar must have have been open prior to May, 1909, to have been listed in that year’s directory. The house was not listed in the 1908 directory. I didn’t see a date on the Sanborn map page, though they sometimes have them.
That’s The Alcazar turned Loretta Theatre. It was a photo studio and then transformed to the Alcazar Theater beginning on October 30, 1909. It became the Loretta Theatre until early 1914. In April of 1914, the theater was removed and it became a drug store.
