The Air Dome Family Theatre was opened by March 1908 when it was operated by I.J. Manheimer, presenting 2 shows a day. It was renamed Gem Airdome in May 1911. It became the Idle Hour Airdome on May 30, 1911. It closed in 1915.
There is an old building on the site today, which is adjacent to the Melba Theatre.

Reading about this, it appears that the Airdome operated under one owner, as it states above - I.J. Manheimer, until 1910 showing films. Then it becomes both the Gem Airdome (named after the hard top Gem Theatre) and renamed as the Idle Hour Airdome (when the Gem was renamed the Idle Hour) in 1911 operating through 1915. It’s discontinued thereafter.
