then over to G. down to Clemmer [1414 2nd Ave....."Considered to be the first theater in Seattle constructed primarily for the exhibition of motion pictures, the Clemmer Theatre bore the name of James Q. Clemmer, who spent $135,000 to construct the movie palace. Seattle had several movie theaters before the Clemmer, but most were either remodeled storefronts or live theaters that also showed movies. That the Clemmer Theatre isn’t as well remembered as other Seattle theaters isn’t surprising; it bore the Clemmer name for only nine years before being renamed the Columbia Theatre in 1922.
In 1912, the Seattle Times described the theater: “The old Roman style is in vogue, plain columns set off by flaming electric torches. These torches are decidedly unique and something new in the manner of theatrical lighting in the West”.One of the standout elements of the theater was its organ. On April 7, 1912, The Seattle Sunday Times reported: 'Great Organ to Be Installed.'" -quoted from cinematreasures.org] Home 11 P.M.
[interesting note: "The Sea Wolf," shown as the movie playing at the Clemmer in this 1913 photo, is a film based on a Jack London novel in which he plays "a sailor" (his only role as an on-screen actor).
