I don’t think the address of 202 W. Main Street is correct. As can be seen in the Google Street View, the buildings currently at 202-204 W. Main Street are old, obviously predating the demolition of the theater.

I think the Princess had to have been across the street, at 203 W. Main, where there is now a business called the Java Garden, situated in a small, modern building set back behind an open area.

This photo, taken during a 1963 flood, shows the darkened marquee of the Princess at right. It can be seen that it was on a corner lot, which 203 W. Main is. I can’t find any other locations along Main Street that match the situation of the Princess.

The Princess Theater is long gone, I’m afraid. It closed in the late 1970’s and was eventually torn down.

The Pricess may have had a Reproduco to accompany silent films. These piano/organ units were manufactured by the Operators Piano Company of Chicago, which also made coin-operated automatic pianos.

Listed in Film Daily Yearbooks from at least 1941 thru 1950.
