The Esquire Theatre first appears in the 1942 FDY, indicating a probable 1941 opening. Plainfield had a 250-seat house listed as the Alamo in 1928 and as the Almo in 1931, 1932 and 1933, but the town vanishes from the FDY after 1933.
“Closed in November 1950 and re-opened a few months later in the spring of 1951 due to “demand after 4 theaters closed in Joliet.” Permanently closed in 1963.” Additional history credit Plainfield Historical Society.
Motion Picture Herald, Jan. 19, 1952: “The Plains, Plainfield, Ill., part of the Anderson circuit, has closed.”
