1Title:  Cleveland Theater Scrapbook     
 Creator:  Cleveland Theater 
 Dates:  1909-1939 
 Abstract:  The Cleveland Theater was located at the northwest corner of St. Clair Avenue along the West 2nd Street alley in Cleveland, Ohio. Known as the city's melodrama theater, it operated under the management of Frank M. Drew in its first season, 1885. In 1886, H.R. Jacobs purchased the theater and changed the name to H.R. Jacobs Theater, but gave up the concern in the 1890s. It was then taken over by the Brady & Stair syndicate which restored the name Cleveland Theater and operated it as a variety show house. In 1910, the theater re-opened as a vaudeville and moving picture house. The theater was closed a few months later, and was then used for commercial purposes until it burned down in 1912. The collection consists of sketches, autographs, newspaper clippings, and programs assembled by members of the cast and crew of productions staged in the Cleveland Theater in 1909-1910; and programs, autographs, and newspaper clippings related to productions at other local theaters, 1910-1939.
