The actual opening date is May 26, 1911, and has a total capacity of 250 seats.

• In color, the front of the theater is in green tints featuring a marvel of ornamental plaster art, and the walls of the lobby featured molded caryatids and busts of Pallas-Athene on elaborate pedestals while a total of 60 incandescent lights from the dark green background make a brilliant effect. A highly ornamental ticket booth adds to the outside effect. The interior in color is in cream, buff, and gold, and the side lights are in rose-tinted globes which hang from the mouths of lion head sculptures. The panels of the walls contain drawings of winged Cupids and the intervening columns are surmounted by shields bearing the letter “A”. Lastly, the ceiling is paneled with plenteous white-globed lights, and eight large oscillating fans keep the gentle breezes playing incessantly throughout the show.
