Opened in 1993, per a recent newspaper article about the theatre getting a grant to convert to digital.

I worked here just after it opened up. It was 2 screens with auditoriums called the Emerald and Ruby rooms. Most of the early equipment and seats were salvaged from the collapsed Ritz Theatre. This was a fun place to work. After closing hours, we would explore the cavernous empty floors of the former department store. From top to bottom we explored. There wasn’t much in the way of lighting but flashlights along with windows did the job.
