The SEMO Theatre opened on September 27, 1947 with Eddie Dean in “West To Glory”. The late night ‘Owl Show’ on opening day was Rosemary La Planche in “Devil Bat’s Daughter”. I think, but there were notes on the “upcoming” SEMO Theatre two months prior but no advertisements were listed, so it might be opened that day.
Its closing date hasn’t been found yet, but was still in operation as late as 1966. By 2016 the building was in use as a Flash indoor market.
The SEMO Theatre was the only theatre remaining in Steele after the “second” fire destroyed the Steele Theatre nearby on January 25, 1963.
