Comique Theatre

This theater was built for Samuel H. Thal, according to an item about it in the January 31, 1914, issue of The Construction Record, which said that architect Gustave Niehaus [sic] was preparing the plans.

The same column listed another theatre project by Niehus (again with his name misspelled as Niehaus,) saying that he was ready to take bids on a one-story brick picture theater to be built at at Fifth and Ringgold Streets for James Montgomery and Earl R. Lines. We don’t have a theater listed at that location, and I haven’t been able to track down a name for it.
