This house apparently opened as the New Empire Theatre, as that was how it was still styled in an item in the August 29, 1914 issue of Moving Picture World. At that time the house was showing feature films on Fridays and Mondays and four reels of movies from the General Film Company the rest of the week, with daily changes of program. The New Empire maintained a six-piece orchestra as well as a pipe organ.
