Admiral Theatre (Omaha)

As one of four in Omaha, the Sokol Auditorium was utilized for meetings by twenty-five Bohemian lodges as well as ethnic Italians and American groups.

In 1862, a highly educated young intellectual, Dr. Miroslav Tyrš (1832-1884) founded Sokol.

His goal was to develop physically strong and mentally alert citizens, and to instill in them a deep love for national freedom from volunteer exercise and discipline.

The Faint mentions the Sokol in the song, "Amorous in Bauhaus Fashion," from the album Media.

Neva Dinova's music video for "Yellow Datsun," was filmed at the Auditorium, and Johnny Rioux of the Street Dogs collapsed on stage on February 27, 2007 of an apparent seizure while his band was opening for Flogging Molly.
