It’s March 4, 1907 and time for the ill-fated New Orpheum to commence operation (top ad). New operator Lee Cohn was the initial manager but that lasted less than a month. The Orpheum Amusement Company, itself, came in to run things but . The a major fire decimated the building on January 17, 1909. Orpheum Amusement both sued for insurance funds and decided to sell its Leavenworth location in a dispersal sale. M.B. Shanberg was the new operator and repaired the building opening on February 20, 1910 (bottom ad). That Orpheum stayed until 1954 when it was razed for a drive-in bank.
