The Nickelette (correct spelling) Theater was in operation by 1909, when this advertisement ran in the May 29 issue of a local newspaper.
The name was changed to Colonial in 1910 when it was purchased by Colonial Theaters of Joliet, Il.
Joe, why would you say Nickelette is the correct spelling when the add says Nickellette?
I didn’t even notice the extra L in Nickellette. Nickelette was standard just about everywhere the name was used, and it was pretty popular name for nickelodeons. But our page used to say Nicolette, which I believe is a street in Minneapolis.
