Superba Theater

Hanlon Brothers opened the Superba February 6, 1905 with live stage fare. Nichols and Angel repositioned it as the New Electric Superba Theatre with movies on January 9, 1908 on a 10-year leasing agreement. Nichols sold it to Tomas Watson in 1918. Watson’s Superba closed on June 26, 1928 with “Jaws of Steel” at the end of its 10-year leasing agreement. It closed as a silent moviehouse. It was torn down for an S.S. Kresge’s five and dime variety store.
