The building was demolished in 1976.[2] HistoryThe Moon Theater was built for the World Realty Company in 1918 at 1410 Douglas Street,[1] and was built right next door to the existing Rialto Theater.[3] The Moon joined the company's other theaters, the Sun Theater at 1410 Farnam Street and the Muse Theater at 24th and Farnam Streets.[1] A fourth theater, the World Theater would, in later years, join the trio.[1][8] The Moon Theater was a Moorish-style building designed by Harry Lawrie of the Omaha architectural firm of Mendelssohn, Fisher and Lawrie.[4] The brick and steel structure boasted an exterior finish of terra cotta, white tile and marble. Over the entrance canopy hung a sign thirty-feet in height with the image of a crescent moon. The interior included decorative painted panels depicting scenes of historic interest and locations within the U.S. National Parks.[1] Playing off the theater's name, the theater's marquee prior to its opening announced, "Moon Rises Next Sat Eve, Sessue Hayakawa in Gray Horizons".[1] During a promotion for The Great Air Robbery, an Essex Motors touring car built to replicate a 600-pound airplane bomber was driven through the streets of Omaha to the entry of the Moon Theater.[5] In 1929, the Moon Theater became a Burlesque theater.[6] In 1933, it became the Town Theater, hosting both stage shows and movies. Its first stage show under its new name was Talk o' the Town.[7] It was remodeled in 1958 for Cinerama by the Cooper Foundation.[2][8] It opened as the Cooper Theater with a showing of South Pacific, for a record 78 weeks.[2] At the time, the South Pacific run set a record for the longest movie run.[2] The Cinerama equipment was later moved to the Cooper Foundation's new Indian Hills Theater. The last movie shown at the Cooper Theater was Serpico in June 1974.[2] The theater was demolished at the beginning of 1976.[2] The Union Pacific Headquarters building occupies the lot. See also
