This theater’s name is a bit of a puzzle. Both the September 18, 1946, issue of the Jacksonville Daily Journal of Jacksonville, Illinois, and an issue of The Film Daily from October that year ran announcements about the opening of the new Rodeo Theatre, owned by W. J. Rodell. Showmen’s Trade Review also used the name Rodeo Theatre. However, an article about the fire in the November 18, 1956, issue of The Jacksonville Journal Courier does indeed use the name Rodee Theatre. The 1950 FDY also uses Rodee. Yet another source uses the name Rhodee.
