In the 1930s, Poverty Row movies that never made it to the Detroit area often had their Michigan premiere at this theater. These movies included Law of the Rio Grande (1931, Bob Custer); Tombstone Canyon (1932, Ken Maynard); Gigolettes of Paris (1933, Madge Bellamy); The Woman Condemned (1934, Claudia Dell); and Rich Relations (1937, Ralph Forbes).

Demolished October 1, 1971, article added credit The State Journal, via Kurt Wannamaker. More photos can be seen on the Orpheum page gallery, since they were two doors apart. It should be noted that the right hand second story windows of the Garden/Mead’s Hall had been updated sometime before 1944 and remained that way until it’s demolition.
