At the top of the “theaters just about no living person has heard of” category is Duluth’s Sunbeam Theatre, located at 109 W. Superior St. from 1908 to 1922. The Minnesota Reflections website notes “the silent film Highbrow Love was out in 1913. In 1922 the motion picture theater the Astor took that address, and the Sunbeam moved to 103 W. Superior St., where it remained until 1930.”
The old photo shows a millinery shop at 107 W. Superior St.
Dubh Linn Irish Brew Pub is presently at the original Sunbeam location, 109 W. Superior St. The neighboring building to Dubh Linn is the not-for-long headquarters of Maurices, where the Sunbeam stood for its final years.
