The Federal Th. is listed under Salem in the 1927 Film Daily Yearbook with 1800 seats and open 7 days per week. Other Salem theaters listed with it were: Salem Th., Comique, Empire and Plaza.
According to an article I found at Patch.com entitled Salem’s Long History of Movie Houses, the Federal was converted into an A & P Supermarket. There was also a bowling alley in the basement.
Following their success with the Comique Theatre the Koen Brothers next venture was to build the Federal. They also went on to operate additional theatres in and around Salem.
