ROCK ISLAND, IL — I have recently taken on the Rocket Theater and would love to return as much of the original look as I can. However, there are hardly any interior photos of any streamline moderne theaters on the internet. Nevertheless, I will pursue libraries and historical institutes for any photos. If anyone has photos of the Rocket Theater before 1960, that would be greatly appreciated.

In the event we don’t have much or anything about yours, we most definitely have many, many images of theatres done in Streamline style from which you could gain much information.
