The theater is now called “The Crossing” and is a church and has been for several years now. Their website and facebook page have great pictures of the interior.
It is being renovated and restored but for use as a church: View article
Any information on a possible personal appearance in the late 1920’s or earlt 1930’s of Ted Healy and the Three Stooges?

oops… spoke too soon! The Orpheum has been bought by three men associated with the local baseball team who are planning to complete renovations ($500,000) and reopen as a performing arts center! No new webpage yet.
Bloomingsburg’s link has a great overview of the property, showing a lot of good interior photos and describing what renovations had been completed and what had not. It looks to be in excellent condition – the auditorium is in excellent shape and the lobbies – a lot had already been done. The realty property listing indicates it has been sold but I haven’t been able to find out who it was sold to or their present plans.
youtube video shows more angles and interior photos.

I was in Hannibal last week. Apparently this is a music venue now, as the marquee listed The Marshall Tucker Band.
Haven’t been inside. It’s interesting because from the street and in the photos here it looks like a tiny place. I didn’t realize until after reading the description here and seeing that it has 1660 seats that that little white building was just the foyer.
Yes, it still stands, untouched today.
Its a shame no one eveyr bought it and fixed it up,
The Orpheum is now for sale for $235,000- http://www.talleyclassicproperties.com/orpheum.htm
They did disclose some of the information ( Prestige) at the sending of the lease/purchase there was a additional 50k more or less that was not told to me, Andrew and Kristy of Prestige are good people i believe, we just decided not to take 115k over in debt and liens that they have on the building. Chalet Theaters LLC will continue to get more theaters that are closed as the Pioneer in TX and is working on one now in Kansas, thanks guys for your support here at Cinema Treasures.
Prestige Realty would be more than happy to disclose the financial information of the Orpheum Theater and honestly answer all pertinent questions for those who are interested in purchasing this wonderful building. As one of the owners, I am extremely satisfied with Prestige’s professional approach in handling the sale of the Orpheum Theater.
THat is correct, we recinded the offer yuesterday, Prestige Realty did not disclose some things, and did not return answers of very important questions, The people that own it owe quite a bit in liens, thanks guys
Chalet Theaters has NOT purchased the Historic Orpheum Theater. Chalet Theaters offered a “Lease to Purchase” option which was considered by the owners (me being one of the owners), but Chalet Theaters rescinded their offer BEFORE any contracts were signed. Therefore, the Orpheum Theater is still FOR SALE!! For more information regarding the purchase of this beautiful theater please contact Kristy Trevathan of Prestige Realty at (573) 221-8171 or go to the listing on EBAY.
Thank you, i will, i have had some troubles with the plans as they are with another person but some of the plans are very very nice!
You have a gem in your hands. As a New York resident who values preservation & adaptive reuse of historic theaters, I am very content with the plans! Lots of luck!!! Please keep us up to date.
Chalet Theaters has bought the theater and is scheduled new construction crews this November, planned re-opening is scheduled for January 2, 2007

After a fire on their campus, Hannibal-LaGrange College began using the Orpheum as the home for all their main stage shows and concerts. The college used the theatre until the fall of 2003 when they moved into the new Roland Fine Arts Center. The Orpheum is currently for sale by the college.
