Wow, there is such a range from simple to decadent.

And they’re just the theaters I’ve stumbled upon in my travels.

So cool!! Thanks again, Jim. You and a couple others on Facebook have opened my eyes to some of the amazing Midwest!

You’re welcome!

Neat series, Jim. I like the Art Deco in a couple of these.

Yes! Some Art Deco for sure.

I’ve been in four of these over the years.

I’ve been in five of them!

Indiana and Chicago for me Jim. Love the detailed stonework. As others have said, a nice little series.

When I lived in Terre Haute, the Indiana was a dollar theater. I went in there all the time. What a gorgeous place it was.

There are some interesting show names, for sure. I noticed that Crump Theatre and some other U.S. theatres I’ve seen in photos use the the British spelling for theatre/theater. Maybe it’s tradition? Oddly, the movie theatre in my Newfoundland home town is called The Popular Theater with the U.S. spelling. And it’s been around since my father was a boy. A newer theatre is called the Queen Street Theatre with the proper (for us) spelling. Maybe the original owner of the Popular Theater didn’t know how to spell. Anyway, I think it’s called the Classic Theater now. Same spelling of theater.

I think that in the US we use “theatre” when we want to sound fancy.

This makes me miss the ol’ Von Lee Theater in Bloomington.
-
I got to see one movie there back in the late 80s!
I have photos of the facade of the Von Lee, but since there’s no theater behind it anymore I chose not to include it in this collection.

Oh my, that is painful to look at. I was at IU from ‘94-97 and had friends who worked there. Saw many free movies ;)
