274 names had poured in in 1913 and Charles Sidney August Fuhrmann and his three person committee were ready to have an opening night to announce the winning name when the theatre chairs were delayed. However, the Illinois Central Railroad came through with those seats allowing for a slightly delayed May 3, 1913 and Mrs. Edmund B.

The Parkview was closed May 5, 1925 with the employees offered new positions at the Majestic Theatre that opened the next day. The building was sold for $2,750 one month later. In 1928, that same building was the subject of a forced sheriff’s sale
