The Peerless Theatre was in operation from at least the early-1920's through to 1952. In the 1951 Film Daily Yearbook, the Peerless Theatre is listed as open and seating 896. It stood on Chestnut Street near First Street. The theater has since been razed and a taxi service is now at this address.

Any further information on the Peerless would be appreciated.

Bryan at what time did Publix own the 896 seat Peerless Theatre?

Neville Brand grew up in Kewanee and must have attended this theater in the 30s before heading off to war
