The Ideal Theatre was opened in 1914 on what at the time was W. Columbia Avenue. It was equipped with an organ to accompany the silent films. In 1935 it was renamed Vogue Theatre. It was closed on November 28, 1957 with Tony Curtis in “The Midnight Story” & Rod Steiger in “Run of the Arrow”. It has been a church since the 1950’s.

Very strange combo of styles. Brick does not match the detailed and elegant upper part of this building. Ruined what could be a beautiful structure.
Closed at the end of lease on November 28, 1957 with “The Midnight Story” and “Run of the Arrow.”
