When the former Liberty Theatre (now Diamond Banquet Hall) at Fullerton and Lawndale was renovated last year, an old sign was briefly revealed—but only a day or two.
Disappointing it was covered up, would have been a nice historic touch for the new business. I believe it’s still under the new tile cladding. Photo and copy credit John Morris.
Just added a mid 70's photo, with "Deep Throat" on the marquee. So the Overview is incorrect that management refused to play hard-core pornography.
Squad car behind the cab puts it around74, but I’m getting confirmation on the year they changed to all white squads.
Below link has photos from a 1940 dual premiere at the Chicago and State-Lake Theatres. One photo of the TeleNews, which I added to the Loop’s Photos Section.
I added the link to the Chicago and State-Lake CT pages too.

One comment from the Traces of Taxes Facebook page said the Majestic Theatre was later incorporated into the Houston Chronicle building.

Just got confirmation the squad car is 1975. The white squads first appeared April of
75. So the Follies was open after74, contrary to the Overview.Just added a mid
70's photo, with "Deep Throat" on the marquee. So the Overview is incorrect that management refused to play hard-core pornography. Squad car behind the cab puts it around74, but I’m getting confirmation on the year they changed to all white squads.I added one photo as Chicago Tabernacle, March 2015. I’ll get another some Sunday when there is no parking directly in front.
