DavidZornig commented about Princess Theater on May 5, 2020 at 6:43 pm

I have found photographic evidence of the possible Bungalow Theatre on Main Street in White Hall in 1925. It is the former Union Hall now demolished, directly across from the Princess Theatre. It has a poster out front that reads “Big-Hearted Jim”, which was a 1925/`26 comedy/drama per the American Film Institute Catalog of Motion Pictures. I will temporarily post the photo in the gallery so the Admins & experts can examine it. I have a 2013 street view link that still has it standing, but the link will not post to CT correctly. Here is a Flickr link of what the now demolished building looked like. It is also in the 1925 photo in the gallery for comparison. Address was 121 N Main St, White Hall, IL 62092.

Located in 8400 block of South High Street. Halfway between Center Street and Miners Street. Confirmed Demolished. Stood between where a gazebo now stands and the existing buildings to it’s left. Owned by the Berstine family, open prior to 1940 and remained open until at least 1974.

Found an early 1900s photo of what appears to be a theatre next to a garage in San Miguel. Cannot find any record of another theatre however.
