“Oriental Theatre in Downtown Chicago. 1977. This Chicago Sun-Times photo was snapped when it was announced that M&R Theatres wall pulling out of the Oriental by the end of the month (September 1977). At first, it looked like the Oriental was going to close permanently, but Stan Kohlberg "rescued” the theatre and turned it into a bargain basement schlock house. The Oriental was trashed for the next three years until the owner of the building kicked Kohlberg out in January 1981. The Oriental remained dark for 17 years, until undergoing a massive restoration courtesy of Garth Drabinsky, and it reopened as a live stage theatre in 1998. It’s now called the James M. Nederlander Theatre."
Address is 211 N. Main Street.
In the June 2008 satellite and street view only the facade remains.
You can get to the street view by Googling “keyser true value wakeeney ks”, click “See Outside” and scroll left 3 storefronts to the facade.
Below is a 2010 link from a local effort to rebuild a new theatre behind the facade which apparently never happened.
In the link it shows a photo of Kelly Theatre with “Boys From Brazil” on the marquee, so it was still open as late as 1978.
It also has a 2010 photo of the facade only, and a 2007 drawing of plans of what was proposed then.
Confirmed Demolished. Rafter Minneapolis apartment rental tower now on the site. Retail on the first floor. 1953 & 1973 photos added.

These type of theatres were common in the old rural coal towns. Built as entertainment for the mining families who lived and worked there.
Circa 1962.
