The Family Theatre was opened in the fall of 1911 in a former gymnasium on the second floor of the Dawson Amateur Athletic Association building by Walter Creamer, director of the D.A.A.A.. The house was not wired for sound until 1932, and competed only sporadically with the Orpheum Theatre in its last few years. The D.A.A.A. building was located on Fifth Avenue at the northwest corner of Queen Street. There are conflicting reports of the construction date, but it was some time between the latter half of the 1890s and 1902.
