Cook Opera House was a theatre located at 25 South Ave between Main St and Broad St in Rochester, New York. Designed by architect Leon H. Lempert, the theatre was built in 1891 and opened on January 14, 1892. It began as a legitimate theatre but evolved into Rochester's first major venue for vaudeville entertainments. Several well known performers appeared at the theater; among them Sissieretta Jones, Jessie Bonstelle, Sarah Bernhardt, Al Jolson, Eddie Foy, Harry Houdini, and Will Rogers. In 1912 it was an American burlesque venue until it was purchased and re-named the Family Theater that same year. It was again a vaudeville venue and also a silent film cinema until 1924 when it became solely a movie theatre. In 1937 it became the Embassy Theatre, and began offering live performances of American burlesque in conjunction with film screenings. It became a venue for strippers and ribald comics. Its last performances before closing were given by the stripper Rose La Rose in 1952. After May 1952 the theatre lay dormant. Attempts to demolish the theatre were prevented multiple times. In 1972 the theatre's roof collapsed, and in 1974 a fire badly damaged a large portion of the structure leading to the demolition of the auditorium portion of the venue. Attempts were made to save the facade of the theatre by Rochester's Preservation Board who deemed what was left of the theatre as a historic landmark in 1977. That plan was opposed by Rochester's City Council and the City Planning Commission. The remaining portion of the theatre was demolished in early 1979.
