The Empire Theatre was, “one of the handsomest and costliest and most luxuriously appointed theatres in the state”. It was designed by architects J. B. McElfatrick and Sons, N.Y.

This movie theatre is mentioned in a book entitled “The Jimmy Roselli Story”. Jimmy Roselli and Frank Sinatra were from the same town and lived on the same street. Sinatra was 10 years older than Roselli.
