I’m wondering if the named was changed to the Plaza Theatre when Commonwealth Amusements took it over. I have an early `50’s photo identified as Carrollton Missouri with a Plaza Theatre visible, and the street looks the same. But I can find no record of a Plaza Theatre in that town. An image search brings up nothing.
1930 photo added to Photos Section, courtesy of Lindy’s Chili & Gertie’s Ice Cream, now located at 11009 S Kedzie Ave. Image captured by Billy Duffing.
The film on the marquee has it’s own story too.
