The other theater in Oakborrk on Cermak Rd. (22nd St.) was called the UA Cinema 150. It had a huge auditorium and long runs on a single movie. I recall “Gone With THe Wind” played there for something like 10 weeks. It later split into two theaters and was renamed UA Cinema I and II.
The original Oakbrook theater was my first job back in 1967. $1.00 per hour. I’m sad to know it os gone. I wonder what they did with the time capsule that was buried in the concrete in the front of the original theater?
