The theatre first opened its doors on Christmas night 1928 and is a Horace Trumbaurer design. Also the Architect of The Philadelphia Museum or Art & another local gem, The Elkins Estate. In 1955 the theatre was remolded into a cinemascope house and remained that, until it closed its doors and was slated for demolition in Spring of 1980. In 1981 it was reopened by a Not For Profit organization that helped have it placed on the Historic Registry in 1983. That group was unable to meet expenses & closed the theatre in December 1985. In March 1988 A private group purchased the theatre and reopened it as one of the leading venues of its type in the United States. They have been sucessful in building resoration and developing a fund to continue that work.
