Built to reflect movie palaces in Los Angeles, it was a movie and vaudeville house. It switched to an all-movie bill in the 1930s.

---

By the 1950s, attendance was waning and the auditorium was outfitted for Cinerama and the bill included both movies and live shows.

---

The neighboring Bismarck Hotel bought the property in the 1970s and converted the auditorium to a banquet hall by removing the seats from the orchestra level.

---

It was renamed and converted to a concert venue in 1984.
