Probably the 100 block of W Washington, and almost certainly demolished. There’s very little left of downtown.

Damaged by a projection booth fire during a showing of Jeanette MacDonald’s “I Married An Angel” on September 13, 1942, which destroyed the film alongside a few unnamed shorts and a newsreel. The fire was caused by a projection jam exactly 20 minutes into the movie. Despite no injuries, around a little less than 100 attended the screening. The theater building suffered small damage, alongside the neighboring Milady’s Style Shop. The damage cost an estimate $8,000 in damages.
