The former Paramount Theatre opened in 1915 for the Lubliner & Trinz circuit. Later, it was operated by Essaness.
Today, the Logan Theatre is a four-screen, independently-run multiplex seating a total of about 975 in the heart of the Logan Square neighborhood. It screens second-run commercial features.
It was closed in fall of 2011 for renovations to be carried out. Set to reopen early-2012, the theatre will have comfortable new seating for 595, enhanced sound system, new screens and digital projectors, expanded and remodeled concession and cafe area, Art Deco style details, a new bar & lounge and offering great prices for mid-run movies, independent films and local film festivals.

In the lobby, just to the left of auditorium 1, there is a sign stating TRY ME ;underneath is a new seat with a cupholder. The Logan will close around Sept. 6, and reopen before Thanksgiving, according to the two employees I spoke with this afternoon. New seats, new and larger washrooms, and a few walls knocked down are among the improvements coming. Also in the lobby, on the south wall, are numerous pics of the Will Rogers and Harding, and- still around,thankfully- the Congress and Logan. The Congress has both interior and exterior views from various years.

Architect was Walter W. Ahlschlager, which explains why the building looks so similar to the Davis.
I elieve he theatre is closed for renovation
Happened to drive by the Logan tonight. Marquee was dark, and still read Closed For Renovations. Small pile of leaves or something in the doorway area.
You can follow the renovation on the Logan’s facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/thelogantheatre
So is the Logan going to be a single screener, or will it be renovated with four screens, ala the LaGrange?
The screen configuration is staying the same
