Theater began life around 1907 as the Nickels, a nickelodeon, owned and run by Nellie and Henry Schmidt.

In 1910 it was modernized and expanded and renamed the Jewel. (See photo I have uploaded).

1919 taken over by Oscar Zimmerman and renamed the Zimm.

1930 taken over by Fox, along with the Regent across the street.

1949 closed and demolished for the new Fox which opened in 1950.

During all these transitions the Schmidt’s were the owners of the property.
