Building was the Barney F. Nabor Store.

1919 remodeled into a “modern movie theater” the MAJESTIC THEATER.

July 1919 brought in two new reel machines so that a movie could be watched without interuption.

Sometime in the 1930’s the name changed to the ANTIOCH THEATRE.

Antioch Movie Theatre – A girl hung herself from the balcony. Al Capone dug tunnels underneath the theatre leading towards Fox Lake. Poltergeist activity has been reported.

I just happened across the Antioch Theatre on a website called theshadowlands.

After clicking the “Illinois” link, it had a small blurb that the Antioch theatre is supposedly haunted. No pictures though.
