Today’s first shows are DaVinci Code at 4, Superman Returns at 4:10, Monster House at 4:15, Lady In The Water at 4:20, Lake House at 4:30, Devil Wears Prada at 4:40, X-Men at 4:45, Click at 4:50, Ant Bully at 5:00, and Talladega Nights at 5:10.
Personally, I’ve always been of the opinion “The More The Merrier”. And they’re certainly architecturally related. Now that I look a little more, it looks like there are in fact a few on here. So maybe they did take that poll to heart. That’s what I was thinking of when I said that. I stand corrected.
They photographed about 40 theaters, which were parts of exhibits titled “Theater interiors: Houses of Fantasy” and “Moving Picture Palaces: Color Photographs of Theater Interiors”. Some photos were by Don DuBroff as well. The exhibits were at the Cultural Center, Chicago Historical Society, and the U of I Medical Center. There was also a 2000 exhibit at the College of DuPage. A Fall 1985 “Chicago History” magazine features some of DuBroff’s pictures, like a wonderful wide shot of the Pickwick auditorium, more ofthe Nortown lobby, the Egyptian in DeKalb, the organ screen dome at the Oriental, the Esquire Balcony landing, lobby and auditorium of the Art theater in Hobart, and the lobby ceiling of the Paramount.

Actually, CinemarkFan, there’s a preview day today with 1 dollar seats all day. Charity for Big Brothers-Big Sisters. Not new releases, though.

Here is a photo of a replica of the Catlow’s auditorium from the fourth of July. It was truly a spectacular replica.

As a general rule base theaters aren’t counted here, along with civic auditoria, always-legitimate theaters, etc.
Parking seems to be the issue.
Apparently there is a proposal to restore the building. View link
Actually it played at the Admiral before the ban.
