The Miller Theatre Was Named After Ms. Helen Miller, Mr. John C. Miller and Mrs. John C. Miller. When The Theater Opened, The Main Theater Had Organist Of Barton Studios And An Organ Broadcaster Off Of Chicago’s WLS-AM Al Malgard, Who Played His Barton 23-Styled And 6 Rank Organ For A Half-Hour Before The Opening Of Their First Program On 35mm. The First Program Is Beljean’s 11-Piece Band (With Unknown Origination) Playing The National Anthem, Or The Star Spangled Banner With The Camera Showing The US Flag.

After The Anthem Ended, The Camera Continued To Show The Flag Fluttering In The Breeze As The Band Played “My Country Tis Of Thee” After A Moment Of Silence. The Theater Opened With A Gala Event And “A Festive Occasion For Woodstock And Vicinity” And Was Known To Be The Biggest Event For The City Of Woodstock And All Of McHenry County. Although I Can’t Find It First Attraction. I’ll Keep Looking Soon.

50sSNIPES commented about Ritz Theatre on Oct 10, 2020 at 12:51 pm

The Ritz While Still Running A Mix Of First-Run Closed For Only 1 Day Due To Repairs And A Larger Wide Screen Was Added By Owner Roy E. Brockman Of McKinney Theatres Incorporated On June 16, 1960. A Year Later, Things Will Change And The Format Race Began.

From Early 1961 Until Late 1962, The Ritz While Continuing Its First-Run Success Rarely Began Screening Approximately A Little Bit Of Mature And Restricted Films, But It Only Happens Once In A While During 1961 And 1962. The Ritz Theatre However Continued Its Primary First-Run And A-Attractions Success Such As “The Music Man”, “Safe At Home”, “Rose Marie”, And The 1960’s Three Stooges Features. When 1963 Rolled Along, The McKinney Drive-In Gave A Big Slap In The Face And Switched Back To Its Primary Second-Run And B-Attractions.

On November 16, 1962, Mrs. Charles Nitcholas, employee and ticket counter of the Ritz, was presented with the monthly Chamber of Commerce’s “Most Courteous Employee” award at the Directors' meeting and was named “City Accountant”.

Actually, The Woodford Theatre Opened On April 2, 1938 With Ronald Reagan In “Sergeant Murphy” Along With An “Our Gang”, Unknown Cartoon, And Comedy; Followed By George Brent In “Gold Is Where You Find It” A Day Later With A Cartoon And Other Selected Subjects. Prior To It, There Is No Theater In Eureka Besides The Jewel Theatre Which Closed By 1930.

The Theater You Mentioned About Back In 1957 When ABone Was In Eureka College Was Actually When The Woodford Theatre Was Either Closed For New Equipment Or Their Schedule Being Scrambled, But The Theater Continued To Operate At The Time. Yes It Closed In Early 1983 And The Building Was Sold Later That November.
