Closeups of the show signs include “Animated Photography” “Everything High Class” “Every Evening 8:00 Matinees” “The Murthalers” “Thatcher & Thatcher” and “Theresa Jacobs” One web site calls her a comedienne, another says she is “The Singing Swubreit”
According to Wikipedia’s site on Theatres of Omaha, The Strand showed the first color movie in an Omaha Theatre: The Black Pirate starring Douglas Fairbanks. That would have been in the 1950s, but the theatre burnt down in the 1920s. What gives?
This theater dates back to at least 1915, as the postcard with the Trolley Advertisement shows.
Thanks, David Zornig.
It was opened sometime prior to September 20, 1906, 9:30 PM as I have a postcard of the theatre with that postmark.
