The Maumee Theatre was listed in Film Daily Yearbooks in the late 1920s, and most likely was opened in 1926, when the “Theater Construction” column of the February 3 issue of Variety listed a $50,000 movie theater project on Maumee Avenue in Fort Wayne for Oscar E. Wobrock. The item says that the architect was named C. C. Brunswick, but I’ve been unable to find any other references to an architect of that name, so this could have been a typo.
Opened on November 4th, 1926. Grand opening ad posted.
