Opened in 1940 with 500 seats in orchestra and balcony levels. The Alger Theatre is a nice, small-town Art Deco style theatre. In recent years a stage was added to the auditorium, reducing the seating capacity to the current 344.

I visited Lakeview on May 12 and 13. The Alger Theater is open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for movies but they are getting Star Wars III next week so will be open Thursday-Sunday. This theater is a classic looking 1930's era theater which needs just a little tender loving care (paint, poster displays windows and lighting). Otherwise it's a gem.

In the early sixties, Alger Theaters, headquartered in Lakeview, ran the Alger, Marius Theater and Circle J-M Drive-In, all in Lakeview. President was Janice Alger.

In the introduction above, "Art Deco" is a link that brings you back to this page. I don't see the purpose of it.

More photos can be seen here.

This 2007 article gives the year built as 1940 and seat count as 344.

The Alger Theater is listed in the 1950 Film Daily with 500 seats.
