The Loyal Theater had two periods of silent operation. It first advertised at 2406 Caldwell Street from 1910 to 1917. If known for anything, it was for boxing films which were screened every Friday night as part of “Fight Night.” The venue closed for three years.

The Loyal then reopened in its second operational period under African American operation as a theater targeting all audiences though advertising only in Omaha’s African American newspaper beginning in the May 26, 1920. The opening film was “Tillie’s Punctured Romance.” Ads were discontinued in 1921.
