In 1963, the Marchesi brothers owned the Amboy. August Marchesi was president and film buyer. Other Marchesi theaters in Illinois were the Times in Savanna and the Town in Prophetstown.

OK, that’s a little redundant from Chuck’s comment at the top. Apologies. Blame it on anticipation of a long holiday weekend.

The theatre has since been demolished.
