The Rameseum theater began its life officially in September 1920, the result of a promotion by owner/manager George Rolfe to change the theater's name from the eponymous Rolfe. A mere five people submitted names--all of which had to start with the letter "R" and be fitting with the theater's new Egyptian-themed remodel.
The Rameseum featured very popular “moving pictures” including pictures featuring starts like Mary Pickford, with a multitude of genres from Western, to slapstick, to romance. And in its final days in November 1932, wrestling.
