From Cinema Treasures website:
Opened as the Green Bay Theatre in late-February 1900. Seating was listed at 1,114. It became the Orpheum Theatre on September 30, 1912 and was operated by Fox Wisconsin Theatres from 1933 and renamed Fox Theatre from August 25, 1933. On December 25, 1957 it was renamed Vic Theatre and was operated by Marcus Theatres. The theatre was located a couple blocks from the West Theatre on E. Walnut Street.
The theatre closed in the late-1980’s. The building is still standing and became a banquet Hall named Confetti’s and is very recognizable as a former theatre. By 2017 it was a bar.
