A shot of this theater with the marquee and blade sign lit appears in a new Mitsubishi Automobile commercial.

How things continue to change…while the theater looks the same in those recent shots vs mine from 1995, the neighborhood around it has grown. In the 1995 shot, you can see a small older building next to the theater; the more recent shots, that structure is gone and something much bigger has replaced it.

Wow, that night shot with Planet Of The Apes is spectacular! Much more functional is this view from 1995:

Very nice photo. I have friends who live in Normal so I’m sure they can attest to this theatre’s presence in that city.

Great minds run together! LOL!

LOL Right after I posted the above comment I received your email telling me it was the Arcada Theater.

lostmemory on May 4, 2008 at 7:42 pm

If the theater in St. Charles is an open theater, its probably the Arcada Theater.

BTW, there is an old downtown theatre in St. Charles, Illinois. Can’t recall the name, but it is a CT listed theatre.

Patsy on May 4, 2008 at 7:35 pm

I don’t plan to be in Normal again as the reason I was there with my husband doesn’t apply anymore. The reason moved to St. Charles.

lostmemory on May 4, 2008 at 6:36 pm

Luckily this theater is still open Patsy. If you are ever in the area you can catch a movie here and take some photos.

Lost: Great night marquee photo! I’ve been to Normal in years pas, but was not into old theatres then so have no memory of it.
