This article is dated 9/15/60. If you’re only going to take $3, you might as well take some Raisinets at the same time:

Small Amount of Cash Stolen from Theater

Burglars entered the Wisconsin Theater, 235 W. Grand Avenue, some time after the second showing of Wednesday night’s movie, and took $3 in cash from the candy counter money drawer and an unidentified amount of change from a soft drink machine. Entry was made after a flat rock was inserted in the rear door lock mechanism, causing the door to remain unlocked when the theater was closed for the night, according to police.

The Wisconsin was remodeled in 1939 to accommodate 900 patrons. It closed in 1984 and was demolished in the mid nineties.
