Here are photos of this theater.
Very cool place to see a film when it was one large auditorium. Usual deal: it was painted grey front to back by the time I visited. Was there once after they split it up. Not nearly as cool. But it is nice to see an old-time neighborhood theatre continue to operate.
How on earth did the Logan survive with the Harding virtually next door?
The seats are a little lumpy but otherwise this is still a great place to see a movie for $3, plus refreshments are cheap and the A/C’s cold! Lets hope they resist the gentrification mania creeping all around the Logan Square area.
Love it. Looks like it did from the day that it first opened as a 4-plex movie house (I can only guess of course as I am only 31). There is much more to a movie experience than the movie itself (as you well know), and the Logan has much more. Everything from the black and white tile in the bathrooms to the wooden armrests on the seating to the side lighting is circa 1950. You will never get this type of experience from going to a modern suburban type of theatre. Fantastic neighborhood theatre. This is my favorite theatre for a 2nd run movie. I hope the operators/owners keep it just the way it is and continue to run it for a long time. Best of luck to you.
I'ts a nice comfortable place to watch a movie, it cost less than other theatres, and the ushers are gentlemanly. It’s in the logan square neighborhood and very easy to get to. Take the blue line to logansquare exit on the Kedzie end and it’s less than a block away (there is a Mcdonalds across the street).
They made me get a note from my mother to see The Omen here in the mid 1970s. It was a cool vintage theater before the split.
