Hey, CDJ – I knew your great aunt Cecile very well – worked with her at the Lake from 1963 to 1967 when I was an usher. If you see this, contact me at

I have not been inside the theater since it changed from a single screen venue…

In the early 1960’s The Woods was owned and operated by Essaness Theaters Corp., and their coporate office was in the building. I was surprised not to see it listed on the Essaness list.

The Lamar was the “grand old lady” of Oak Park Theaters. When I worked there in the early 1960’s (as well as the Lake Theater), it and the Lake Theater were both owned and operated by Essaness Theaters Corp. Saw many great films there.
