This was the Morris Theater in 2001.
The Anderson Theater circuit was based out of the Morris Theater in the 40s and 50s. The chain’s nine theaters also included such theaters as the DeKalb in DeKalb, the Naper in Naperville, the Plains in Plainfield and the Wilton in Wilmington.
The theater has been de-twinned and is now a christian youth center. It was a neat theater but somewhat dirty. Still it was sad to see it go – now we have to drive out to the fringe of town and go to the megaplex.
