The Nu Theatre was opened in 1938. On March 14, 1953, BoxOffice reported: “Kane, IL - The Nu Theatre, 190-seater, had a rather brief experience under the management of Ethel Greenwood. She arranged with W. P. Witt, Jerseyville banker, to take the house off his hands about the middle of February. She operated the theatre on February 18, 21, 25 and 28 and then closed the theatre again. The theatre for many years had been operated by the late George H. Varble, who died January 6, 1952. Witt reopened the house about a year ago, but closed it several weeks ago. For a while after Varble’s death the theatre had been operated by his widow”.
The nu Theatre was finally closed in 1956. It became a bar, but had been demolished by 2006.
