This team was in the minor-league International League, and relocated to Richmond, Virginia when the St. Louis Browns moved to Baltimore in 1954 to become the Baltimore Orioles. There were no night games, so the stadium could easily screen films in the evenings. It was likely only used for films during the summer months, as Baltimore gets quite cold in the winter. There were no air-conditioned theaters in 1916-1917, so an open-air theater was probably quite comfortable in the summer. -- Bruce Calvert Last Modified May 4, 2016
