Terminal Theatre Exterior

The Terminal Theatre was located on the north side of W. Superior Avenue east of W. 3rd Street, opposite the Cleveland Hotel. It was opened as the New Terminal Theatre on May 1, 1920 with Clara Kimball Young in “The Forbidden Woman”. It was listed as (Closed) in the 1941 edition of Film Daily Yearbook. Same details in the 1943 edition. It probably never reopened as it had gone from listings in 1950.

The January 4, 1933, issue of The Film Daily said that the Terminal Theatre in downtown Cleveland, after many years as a grind house, was returning to a first-run policy on January 7. The Terminal Theatre was then owned by E. C. Flanigon, B. C. Steele, and Samuel Rosenthal.

The first-run policy apparently didn’t work out. The April 18 issue of The Film Daily said that the Terminal Theatre had converted from first-run foreign pictures to a burlesque policy.
