This theater was one of my grandfathers, among a group of 13 theatre in all. It mainly showed Western movies. The corporation was Regla Theaters and this name came from the reverse spelling of his last name. Alger.

This theater was one of my grandfather’s E.E.Alger. His offices were actually in the Art Theater after they closed the office on Gooding Street in La Salle just a half block from the Majestic. My father Jack E. Alger was in charge of promotions and actually had several “greased Pig” contests, as well as saturday night give-aways and during the war sold war bonds.
