The first Levoy Theatre filled a ten-year void left in Millville after the 1898 fire that destroyed the Wilson Opera House, Millville's largest theatre of the 19th century. By 1908 Millville needed a new source of entertainment, and William "Pop" Somers of Atlantic City and Somers Point fame came to Millville seeing the opportunity for his Levoy. On a side note, Somers was one of the early Ferris Wheel designers, even before Mr. Ferris himself. Only after a lengthy court battle between Ferris and Somers did the famous ride become known as the "Ferris" Wheel and not the "Somers" Wheel.
