The former theater will now house a Mexican restaurant called Cine. View article.
I understand the console went to australia, a number of the pipes went to a project in england, and others remain in storage
Has it been re installed anywhere else?
it was parted out
what happened to the organ
Sort of. The lobby end seems to have been destroyed for the store that’s now there, and the stage end is separated and operates as a bar & restaurant.
Looks like they split the auditorium into two floors for two tenants, and included the lobby space in the lower one. Was that how it happened Brian?
As I said, much of the plasterwork is intact. They put walls and floors in but kept as much as possible. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/ctid808/
If it was converted to retail, then I assume the auditorium was gutted.
did they gut the auditorium
Love the 1983 marquee shot,Great.great actor.
The retail establishment occupying the first floor of this building has closed.
i mean auditorium
Much of the plasterwork is intact.
Just a question, before they converted the hinsdale into offices did they gut the theatre?
This theatre was equipped with a Norelco AA-2 (70MM/35mm) projector and a Dolby CP-100 sound system.

A 3/10 Marr and Colton was installed in the theatre in 1925.
