The Nat boasted a family friendly program and of moving pictures and vaudeville performances. Admission was 10 cents.
The “Nat” theater was an attraction in the local Natatorium which included a swimming pool, billiard hall, bowling alley, auditorium/dance hall. The Natatorium was the pride of Medford; promoters called it "the Coney Island of the West." The Natatorium opened in July 1910 and theater opened a few months later in September (1).
According to an article in the Medford Sun, the theater burned down sometime in October 1912. The Natatorium ownership had plans to spend $20,000-25,000 to rebuild the theater into "an up-to-date theater" that would re-open in 1913 (2). However, no mentions of the theater ever appeared again in the local newspapers.
