Once that X rated movie played there i am sure locals had no reason to support it.

A sad look at the closed, abandoned, and now demolished Rogers Theater in Decatur. And an enlarged view here.

The Rogers Theatre was demolished a few years ago.

I think the owner of the theater tried in the mid 90’s to turn it into a liquor store or warehouse but was denied by the city. Shortly after being denied I think the theater had a fire. I’m sure the city of Decatur has ordered this theater to be torn down by now. I am just guessing on all of this and I could be wrong.

“In 1944 the Rogers Theatre, in the 1100 block of East Wood Street, billed itself as "Decatur’s Most Comfortable Theatre” and was showing “Princess O'Rourke”, staring Olivia de Havilland and Robert Cummings, with Charles Coburn, Jack Carson and Jane Wyman".

A circa-1982 view of the Roger’s marquee can be seen here.
