I uploaded an auditorium picture to the photos section. It’s called the Vaudeville Grand which could be this theater which was located on Grand Avenue. Two of the other photos show vaudeville being featured at the Orpheum so this might have been the same theater.
Status should be closed. New Vision Theatres is closing this location and all its others. Story here: https://www.channel3000.com/new-vision-theaters-fitchburg-imax-to-close/
This theatre has been sold to new owners who have reopened the Starlite 14 Drive-in just south of town. The drive-in is now open and showing older films. The Center Cinema Twins may open again once the Covd19 crisis is open. https://madison.com/wsj/business/starlite-14-resurrected-in-richland-center-amid-covid-19-pandemic-but-older-movies-offer-challenge/article_fa45f095-96ac-54b0-862a-d0f3b32170b1.html
Status should be changed to open. The theatre has been sold along with the Center Cinema Twins in downtown Richland Center. The drive-in is now showing older films and providing social distancing. Here’s a story about it: https://madison.com/wsj/business/starlite-14-resurrected-in-richland-center-amid-covid-19-pandemic-but-older-movies-offer-challenge/article_fa45f095-96ac-54b0-862a-d0f3b32170b1.html
Added two early street scenes and a 1944 ad.
Functions should include performing arts. No movies scheduled on Facebook page.
Just added a 1940 street scene to Photos showing the Ideal and quite a crowd of people. Might be some kind of holiday.
