The Empire Theatre was designed by the Regina architectural firm of Storey & Van Egmond (Edgar M. Storey and William Gysbert Van Egmond.) The house opened on December 29, 1910, with a performance of Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta “H.M.S. Pinafore” featuring members of the Saskatoon Amateur Operatic Society. Renovations in 1918 made it possible to show moving pictures more frequently, but occasional stage production were still mounted after the Empire became a full-time movie house.
