This small movie house opened in 1913 with 300 seats. It was enlarged in the late 1940’s and closed in 1999. It now is home to a nightclub, Secrets Lounge.

I have more images from behind the screen and in the projection booth, I’ll have to find and scan them.
Chris, I noticed that you switched your photos to PRIVATE on flickr.. It would be nice that you have them open to public viewing for the members of Cinema Treasures, that was the reason that we linked to your photos on flickr.
It should be available?
I turned it off at one point but it seems to be working from the above links.
I’ve added a photo taken from the projection booth looking down during a movie.

Cool photos cbnight.
Only went there once as a kid. I have always loved that corner building. I miss old Dolton.
Better to be nightclub than torn down.
When I visited the theater in the late ‘80’s the owner said that this used to be a vaudville theater before becoming a 100% movie theater. I have some images behind the screen I’ll try to find. There were crowsnests and a full wooden stage back there.
