As a kid, it was a great place to go on a Saturday! It has long since been torn down and there is a Catholic church on the site.

I am 90% sure that an Elm Theater existed in the ‘60s in either Elmwood Park or Franklin Park, Illinois. Wish I had more info…
The Address for the Elm Theatre is 309 W. Lewis, Wauconda, Il.
Yes, there was an Elm theater in Elmwood Park. It was located on the north side of Grand Avenue near the Milwaukee Road RR tracks. It was converted to an Armenettis Liquor store in the late 50’s I believe.
Here is a news clipping of the destruction of the Elm.
When did it come down? Judging by that large American car in the clipping, I am guessing 70’s?
