The Orpheum Theatre, designed by C. W. and George L. Rapp and built in 1915-16 for the “princely sum” of $135,000, opened in August, 1916. As part of the Orpheum Circuit, which included performers such as the Marx Brothers, George Burns, and Fannie Brice, it was considered a first-class vaudeville house equal in every way to the finest of the day.
