Actually, you’re really close. The actual closing date is actually ten days later, on November 27, 1988 with “Child’s Play” and “Betrayed” (yes for that same reason). Star Cinemas, who operated the nearby Rialto and Parkland Theatres at the time, was its last operator.

Shortly after the theater’s 1983 closure, the building was destroyed by a fire that same year (possibly under suspicious circumstances). It was gutted to make way for the eight-story 1111 W. 22nd Street building designed by Holabird & Root in 1984.
