"Theatre was built by Independent Order of Odd Fellows and crowned the Empress Theatre. The building, designed by local architect, William A. Jones, was two-tiered with gold-leafed clouds on the ceiling, red velvet seats, and a pipe organ. The managers were ex-pats from San Francisco, Abe Marks and Gus Cohen.
The Vallejo Evening Chronicle anticipated the theatre to be "...one of the prettiest small theatres on the coast" (January, 23, 1912)." (
