The Orpheum Theatre opened in 1912 and closed in 1937 when fire destroyed the building. The theatre was rebuilt and continued to operate at least into the 1950’s. An auto parts store is now located on the site of the theatre.

Film Daily of October 10, 1941 had news about the Orpheum: “The Van Nomikos circuit in co-operation with Miller and Swanson, joint operators of the Orpheum and Webb Theaters in Savanna, Ill., are spending $20,000 for improvements to the Orpheum, enlarging the house to 750 seats, using Kroehler Push-Back chairs for the job, new front, and modernizing the stand in all departments. E. W. Wagner is the job’s architect.”
