The Delman was closed for some time when it was rented to a black theatre group that renamed it Macabar for a short time. It never panned out and I’m not even sure how many performances were presented there..not many. There was a fire in the buildings next door which sealed the Delman’s fate and later transients broke into the theatre setting it on fire…then it was razed. It did not look like much from the outside but the inside was very, very pretty.
A 1996 view of the sad and abandoned Orpheum Theatre in Champaign here and here. But it looks as if if someone still loved it. Notice the two small, nicely kept flower gardens in front of the theatre. An enlarged view here and here.
A 1983 Midland Theater movie calendar here.
