Here is a 1920s photo. The feature is “Cheaper to Marry”. I don’t know if I agree with that:

Here is a 1930 photo. The theater was giving away coal, presumably in the winter time. Note the picture of a very young Satchmo:

Here is a photo from the 1920s – no theater, or at least no marquee. Interesting:

Very helpful. I think the bottom line is that none of these theaters on Curtis have been listed as of yet, with the exception of the Isis.

A fine tribute to a man I appreciated for many years. It’s too bad that Roger Ebert’s health is also problematic.

Here is a photo, probably from the 1940s:

Why Cataract? Is there some other connotation besides the eye disease? It doesn’t sound like a very appealing name for a theater.

Thanks for the information, Paul. This photo from the Library of Congress shows the Fox Rivoli, which replaced the New Isis per above. The address is given as 1751 Curtis, but that may be inaccurate:
