This small theater, seating around 300, was opened in 1911 by George I. Wiley, for whom it was named after. It was located on Lincoln Avenue (originally at 2171, but was renumbered as 2151 at a later time) between Webster and Dickens Avenues in the Lincoln Park neighborhood, not far from today’s popular Oz Park.
Later, it was renamed the Lincoln-Webster Theatre. This theater closed decades ago, and is long gone.

From the 30s until WWII, the Wiley was known as the Little German Theatre, and screened German-language films for what was at the time a heavily German neighborhood. It was renamed the Lincoln-Webster during the 40s.
