Rapp & Rapp did work on the Majestic at 4th & Main, Dubuque. It was sometimes referred to as an opera house, although the specialty was vaudeville. I was involved in the 1975-76 renovations.
Most recently I managed the Grand in Dubuque. It has been a legit theater again since 1986. They still have a large screen and in the recent past we hosted showings of silent films with live orchestra. The promoters then moved to the Five Flags Center (restored Majestic) because of more reception space in the adjacent arena area.
Both are beautiful facilities in this town of 65,000. Amazing!
