This was likely the Princess Theatre, which was advertising in 1909 (see Photos). The 1908 Sanborn shows a theater at 730 Broadway. The 1911 Sanborn shows the same building as 728-730 Broadway, though it’s no longer labeled as a theater.
A January 31, 1910, Times article reported that the Princess Theatre, “the notorious ten-cent playhouse of Gary is to go out of business.” The January 30, 1910, show was its last. “Manager Jo Nieman is about to have the place remodeled and start a shoe store there.”
