There was another opera house in Norwich called Breese, and later Clark’s, Opera House. This building still stands. A website for the Clark Opera House (https://freethought-trail.org/trail-map/location:breese-opera-house/) misidentifies a picture of the Burr as being the Clark. It’s not known if the Clark also showed movies. It apparently was in operation at least up until 1902, based on notes I took in the ‘80s.
One significant bit of trvia I forgot to mention: the Victory supermarket chain got its start in this building, around 1901.
