“Oriental Theatre in Downtown Chicago. 1977. This Chicago Sun-Times photo was snapped when it was announced that M&R Theatres wall pulling out of the Oriental by the end of the month (September 1977). At first, it looked like the Oriental was going to close permanently, but Stan Kohlberg "rescued” the theatre and turned it into a bargain basement schlock house. The Oriental was trashed for the next three years until the owner of the building kicked Kohlberg out in January 1981. The Oriental remained dark for 17 years, until undergoing a massive restoration courtesy of Garth Drabinsky, and it reopened as a live stage theatre in 1998. It’s now called the James M. Nederlander Theatre."
Address is 211 N. Main Street.
In the June 2008 satellite and street view only the facade remains.
You can get to the street view by Googling “keyser true value wakeeney ks”, click “See Outside” and scroll left 3 storefronts to the facade.
Below is a 2010 link from a local effort to rebuild a new theatre behind the facade which apparently never happened.
In the link it shows a photo of Kelly Theatre with “Boys From Brazil” on the marquee, so it was still open as late as 1978.
It also has a 2010 photo of the facade only, and a 2007 drawing of plans of what was proposed then.
The name change from Princess Theatre to Pecos Theatre happened between 1936 & 1937. I’ve add photos from both years, and the change was done between them.
1936 photo as Princess Theatre added credit Palace of the Governors Photo Archives, Negative# 183377. May 29, 1937 photo as Pecos Theatre added credit G. Redfield. Negative Number 052027, Palace of the Governors Photo Archives.
Address is 414 Central Avenue.
Building is still standing with the same facade.
It is a NAPA Auto Parts store today, K’s Auto Parts.
I spoke to the owner, and he said his office is the old projection booth.
Also the auditorium is still there mostly unchanged as he said.

I will add the other theatres mentioned when I have time.
These type of theatres were common in the old rural coal towns. Built as entertainment for the mining families who lived and worked there.
Circa 1962.
Circa 1971 photo added courtesy Annie J Piwowarski. CinemaTour link has a sketch of the exterior.
