'Globe' is a word from English. For that reason, it is pronounced in English, not German. Its most common use in German is as part of a proper name.
Der Name des Theaters lautet „Shakespeare's Globe“.
The name of the theater is 'Shakespeare's Globe.'
In German, 'Globe' is used almost exclusively as part of the proper name 'Globe Theatre' in London. The context is therefore usually theater, history, or William Shakespeare.
Als wir in London waren, haben wir das Globe besucht.
When we were in London, we visited the Globe.
The meaning 'Erdkugel' (globe) is very uncommon in German and often sounds outdated or very specific. You find it almost only in historical texts or when there is a direct connection to the English-speaking world.

'der Globus' and 'der Globe' look very similar and can therefore easily be confused. For a spherical model of the Earth, German normally uses 'der Globus'. 'der Globe' can also mean such a model of the Earth, but it is much less common in this meaning. Much more often, 'der Globe' means the name of the famous theater in London associated with Shakespeare. So if you are talking about a model of the Earth in class or at home, 'Globus' is the natural choice. For the theater in London, you say 'Globe'.
