In Downtown Canton, Ohio, a standing room only crowd welcomed the opening of Harry Harper Ink's million dollar vaudeville and movie palace on Monday, November 22, 1926. The American public was enjoying the Charleston craze and motion pictures featuring such screen stars as Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford. The Theatre was a gift to the community form Canton entrepreneur and industrialist businessman Harry Harper Ink. The 1960s and 1970s brought about a period of neglect and decay to Canton’s downtown area. The theatre’s doors were locked to the public and its marquee darkened on its 50th Anniversary in 1976. The building reopened in 1980 and the restoration of the theater has been ongoing since. To date, approximately $4.0 million has been spent to restore the building.
