This small, early movie house was closed by the mid-20s. It was located in the Englewood neighborhood on Halsted Street and Emerald Drive. Today, the site is an empty lot.

The closing year I found for the Bonita Theater is 1924.
The Bonita Theatre opened in 1913 with a seating capacity of 299.
Here is a blurb from the Englewood Economist in February 1915:
BONITA THEATER
Manager Frank Clifford has arranged an especially attractive list of selected pictures for the Bonita this week starting tonight, Monday, Feb. 15th, the program is as follows: “The Flower of Faith,” a fine 2 act Selig drama; “The Broken Circuit,” a thrilling drama of the rails, featuring Helen Holmes, also “Making Them Cough Up,” and “Bertha, the Button Hole Maker,” two laughable Biograph comedies.
Here is a January 1915 ad from the same source:
