The book “Historic Movie Theatres of Wisconsin: Nineteenth Century Opera Houses through 1950s Playhouses, Town by Town” by Konrad Schiecke doesn’t list a Chief Theatre in Mukwonago. He lists the Vista (at 222 North Rochester Street) and the Hotel Theatre (at 221 North Rochester Street). This is confusing since he says the Hotel Theatre burned down in 1927 and the Vista was built on its site but then gives an address for the Vista which is across the street.

The tattoo parlor is in the former theater building.

The Web Shot photo doesn’t match any building in the 200 block of Main St. or the 100 or 300 block either.

The 1955 Film Daily lists a 460 seat Vista Theater for Mukwonago. Were the Chief and the Vista two different theaters?
