This theatre opened as the Victoria in 1927. The name change o the Vic Theatre took place in 1939. The Vic was open well into the 1950’s.

The Vic Theatre was at 3525 Main Street in the Indiana Harbor side of East Chicago, IN. It probably opened in February 1934 - its first ad appeared on February 7, 1934, and the Vic Theatre first showed up in the February 1934 phone directory. There is no reference to a Vic or Victory Theatre before 1934. The theater was operated by the Auksel family.

The Vic Theatre likely closed in 1961 as its last mention in the newspaper was in May 1961. In its final years it played Spanish-language films.
