The Hoolywood Theater was torn down in the late 1960’s because of the City of Sioux City had an urban renewal project for most of the downtown area of Sioux City.

It was the third largest motion picture theatre in Sioux City with the Orpheum and Capitol theaters being larger.

First run movies were shown, including “Lawrence of Arabia”, “Goldfinger” and “How the West was Won”.

Managed by Phil Keough, city manager of the company from Lincoln, Nebraska, the Hollywood was the second theater in the chain, including the Orpheum in Sioux City,.

This theater of the same name in Sioux City must have been designed by someone else.

There are two listings for the Hollywood. They should be merged.
