Opened in the existing Schmidt Building - also known as the Opera House - as the new Cole Theatre for G.A. Cole as a holiday gift to the city in 1940. But it delivered a lump of coal burning prior to showtimes on January 21, 1941 when flames engulfed the aged building. It was replaced by the far superior Brauntex Theatre opening a year later in January 1942.
From 1941 a photo of the Cole with fire fighters at work and black smoke billowing from the theater.
