Title	The Orpheum Theatre, Sacramento, California
Date	1913
Description	Meichlor Diepenbrock's Orpheum Theater, at 1203 J Street, is shown in this 1913 postcard. The theater was part of the Orpheum Circuit, a vaudeville consortium started in San Francisco by Gustav Walter. The original intent of Diepenbrock, a real estate tycoon, was to turn the Twelfth and J property into a hotel. However, because the block fell just outside of the city's zoning for the sale of alcohol, the hotel scheme was scuttled in favor of a theater.
