The Arcadia Theater was the brainchild of Mrs. A. Van Wagner who, sadly, died during the building of the project. The plans were drawn by L.G. Van Wagner in a Colonial style. The venue launched May 4, 1914 with Marie Walcamp in “Through the Clouds” supposed by three shorts. The ad is in photos. It was called the New Arcadia Theater in the sound era. The operator, who also ran the Happy Hour and the Rivoli, purchased the Empire Theatre late in 1933 and appears to have discontinued operation of the Arcadia at that time. Not sure when it resumed. However, an item in the paper suggests a demolition year of 1975.
