A.C. Winter launched the New Winter Theatre on March 7, 1912. He would go on to run the Bank Theatre and took over the Norka Theatre in 1913. The “New” was dropped and the Winter Theatre continued into 1924. The theatre then got new operators and continued under the Standard Theater moniker beginning on May 24, 1924 with vaudeville and movies.

The venue was wired for sound after being vacant for a period on March 24, 1928 relaunching again as the New Winter Theatre. On August 8, 1931, it was reopened under new operator Jack Flamm as the Tivoli Theatre. That had a great run closing on June 3, 1954 with a triple feature of westerns. Flann would take on the Norka Theatre in December of 1954.
