The Savoy Theatre was operating at least as early as 1912. In that year it fielded a team in the Moose Jaw City League, according to the Baseball Wiki. The Savoy Theatre was mentioned in the April 1, 1916, issue of The Moving Picture World.

This photograph from the Moose Jaw Public Library’s collection is dated to the period 1910-1913, and shows a view looking east from High Street West across Main Street to High Street East. In th e left foreground is an excavation where the Walter Scott Building would rise. The Savoy Theatre can be seen beyond the excavation, on the other side of the alley. The site today is a parking lot with a sign reading “Casino Moose Jaw.”
