Newmar Theatre

The Newmar Theatre was a motion-picture theater operated by the Newmar Theatre Corporation which was owned by Newman Waters and Martin Rice. The name combined the partners' given names.

The Newmar originally opened in December 1948 as a re-naming of the Capitol Theatre at 1911 2nd Avenue North. It showed second-run features at reduced prices.

In September 1951 a fire broke out in the theater, destroying the screen and damaging three rows of seats. Instead of rebuilding, the Newmar moved next door into the former Strand Theatre at 1913–1915 2nd Avenue. The Art Deco restyling of the property was designed by Burnham & Echols Architects

The second Newmar closed in September 1959 when the Strand was reopened as an Acme Theater affiliate.
