It’s grand opening ad is uploaded in the photo section for this theatre.
This opened on January 14th, 1927
The local residents and merchants are very lucky to have such a vibrant cinema in their midst.
Various photos of the Bagdad can be seen here, here and here.
Here is a close-up shot of the Bagdad Theater.
This is a July 2009 photo.
Here we go again. I didn’t post the above comment.
Thanks, Phantom Screen. You’re right on that one, but I noticed that an awful lot of stores and businesses seemed boarded up, or had soaped-up windows, which is another sign of a store or business that’s folded.
A 2009 photo is here.

This photo looks familiar to me. It is not a great photo but it is an old photo.
Another photo of the Bagdad Theater can be seen here.
Several excellent color shots of the interior and exterior of the Baghdad for those of you who haven' checked out the McMinamens website

Here is a recent close-up view.
I usually use Local Live, but Google Earth should also work. If you zoom in real tight, you might get a glimpse of the interior. ;)
Google Earth?
Enough of those facade shots. Do you have any of the roof? :P
Here is an undated exterior photo:

Bagdad Screen, a view from further back, an interior view, and some comfortable looking seats.
Simon, you might want to check out cinematour.com. They feature many theater “tours,” of which many have lobby and auditorium photos (including the Bagdad).
Cinematour and Cinema Treasures work very well together for the total picture. As was pointed out by another poster on another theater page, Cinema Treasures is primarily a cinema nostalgia site, while Cinematour aims to document via photos, every known (existing or not, open or not) theater in the world. It also features an entertaining forum.
