This theater should not be confused with another former Schoenstadt theater, the now-shuttered Harper, which became the Hyde Park 1 & 2 in the early 90s.

The Hyde Park was one of the Schoenstadt's earlier theaters, opening in 1914, and also their last to close, in 1973. It could seat just under 700.

The theater was demolished long ago.

The drive-in facility for the Hyde Park Bank stands on the former location of the theatre, which we used to call the Hyde Park #2. The last film that I saw there was "The Valachi Papers", months before it closed.
