Wow, thanks for posting that picture. It makes me want to drive over to Hoopeston to go to the Lorraine because they were so similar.

I saw a few films there during it’s “resurrection” in the early 90’s. From what I can remember the projection stuff was very old, possibly original. I believe that the owners in the 90’s were the same as the Harvest Moon and that they closed it down in, if I recall, 1994 because of a rash of vandalism and break-ins. AS stated, it’s screen lives on In Gibson City, IL at the Harvest Moon.

I would very much like a picture of the Clintonia. At the very least there should be one here. I can possibly dig one up at my parents house next time I come dorn to Clinton if you can’t find one.

Now that I think of it, I believe the Clintonia was built and owned be the same person(s) as the Lorraine theater in Hoopeston, IL ( /theaters/780/ ).

This theater, where I saw almost every film of my childhood, had a serious structural problem around 1989. If I recall correctly the west wall partially caved in and it was demolished shortly thereafter. It was a sad day when it came down.
