I heard from sources at the Theatre Historical Society of America that the Bryn Mawr Theatre was an early design from the architectual firm of Rapp & Rapp

I saw “Absolute Beginners” there in 1986 just before it closed.
They had a real good screen and sound—– panavision was great
and the sound was good. The olny time i was there.

The last film I saw at the Bryn Mawr was Psyhco 2. It had been a cut rate admission theatre for years and at this time admission was, I think, 60 cents. During this time period the theatre’s clientele had drastically changed. There were huge signs everywhere cautioning patrons to “Hold your purses tightly” and the theatre was never completely darkened during the movie. Prior to my last visit I always felt secure at the Bryn Mawr. When visiting Chicago I always checked to see what was showing there. I saw many good films and saved a lot of money seeing them at the Bryn Mawr. The Bryn Mawr was very plain inside and had no balcony.
