Built by Radner R. Pratsch in 1920, the Realart Theater, at 5415 So. Tacoma Way brought Hollywood movies to So. Tacoma for over 40 years. On May 16, 1938 the theater was showing a double bill of "Over the Goal" with June Travis and "West of Shanghai" starring Boris Karloff. Mr. Pratsch retired from the movie business in 1956, and the building has gone through a succession of owners.
