I’m not sure which theater this is supposed to be, but the address is wrong. There was a theater at 100, in a building which has been demolished, and one at 108. Assuming it’s the demolished theater, it was located in the eastern storefront of an opera house that was constructed in 1887. The opera house was on the second floor, with retail below. The 1908 map shows a pool hall and bowling alley in the space. The theater is shown on the 1914 map, and the 1922 map shows it once again a pool room. The building is still shown on the 1944 map, but was replaced around 1960(?) by an ugly one story department store.
