Clark Theatre

i can see, and feel myself as a boy of 10 walking right there, from wimpys on the sidewalk to rarcoa (now Harlan j berk) past clark theatre and giving brief thought to their movies. the building now standing on the northeast clark/Madison corner could never be remembered by anyone…..like this

I always thought the Ladies Only balcony was an unusual feature, but the theater did have its share of sketchy patrons. I can recall watching a movie while the police dragged drunks out of the theater,
