This theatre appears on the 1914 map. It was located in the Brunston building, a small two story brick commercial building constructed in 1903. The theatre is listed in the 1914-15 AMPD, but appears to have closed by 1926, although it’s possible it changed it’s name. It was certainly closed by 1935, when the map shows the building used as a store.
Although the block has been rather roughly handled, the building is in good shape today. It has been a hair salon since at least 2007.
