UPDATE: The Colonial Theatre In Marengo Open Its Doors As The ROYAL Theatre In The Fall Of 1910 With An Unknown Program, Including Local Events, Concerts, Performances, And Vaudevilles. As Of 1920, It Is Owned And Operated By H.F. Wilson. By Early 1929, The Royal Theatre Became A Movie House And Started To Screen Movies As Second-Run Silent Films. In Early 1930, Sound Was Installed At The Royal Theatre, And Started Screening Talkies (Sound).

The Colonial Theatre Continued Its Operation As A First-Run Film Until The Spring Of 1979, Then It Begins Showing Spanish Language Films (Owned and Operated By David Ames) For A Short Period Of Time Because Of A Protest Against School Kids.
The Protest Started On September 30th, 1979 At Around The Afternoon Hours, When 30 School Kids Marched Around In Front Of The Theater And Went Up And Down On State Street For An Entire Hour, As They Picket And Protest Against The Colonial Theatre, Holding Signs Saying That They Want English (First-Run) Films Again. David Ames, The Owner Refused To Make A Comment On The Demonstration. He Said, “The Reporter Who Attempted To Get His Side Of The Story Was Trespassing And Ordered Her Off My Property.” According To The Marengo Republican-News, The Colonial Theatre Only Closed On Weekdays, And Only Opened On Weekends. People Said That The Children Had “No Place For Entertainment.”
The Theater Ended Up Shutting Its Doors For The Final Time In Late 1979 Because Of The Protest.
Weeks Later On October 18th, 1979, Attorney Loren Golden Appeared On Behalf Of The Owner Of The Colonial Theatre, David Ames, In Connection With His Request For A Permit To Erect A Fence On His Property. Ames Registered Over Several Police Departments In Across McHenry County About Trucks Using His Driveway To Reach The Rear Door of A Business Establishment.
UPDATE: The Crystal Drive-In Was Renamed Back To Crystal Lake Drive-In Only During Its Last Year In Operation Until It Closed At The End Of The 1981 Season
(May To Mid-September) With Rated R Films (A Bit Close For Being X). They Closed The Theater For Good After 2 Fights That Injured 8 People, With One Being On July 11th, 1981.
The First One Is Unknown, But The Second One Is Known. The Second One On July 11th, 1981: McHenry County Sheriff Respond To The Crystal Drive-In After A Fight. The Drive-In Employee Is Knocked Out, And One Of The Workers Was Told to Stop A Movie On The Projector That Happened Around 12:30 AM. Only 8 People Have Minor Injuries (All Between 17-20 Years Old). Crystal Lake Police Said That The Fight Occurred When A Vehicle Struck An Employee At The Parking Row Who Works At The Crystal Drive-In.
Throughout The Late 1970s And Early 1980s, 2 More Incidents Were Reported. A Robbery Occurred At The Crystal Drive-In On July 31st, 1977. And On June 20th, 1979, The Crystal Drive In’s Screen Was Sprayed With Black Paint According To The Manager. That Happened Around 12:30 AM When A Maintained Ladder Had Been Climbed Leading To The Wooden Platform Of The Screen. No Witnesses Or Suspects Have Been Reported At The Time.
UPDATE: After The Screen Was Blown Down In September 1st, 1960; The Screen Was Rebuilt And Opened It A Couple Of Years Later. The Acres Drive-In Was Still In Operation Since 1975 As Southwest’s Acres Drive-In.
UPDATE: The Crystal Drive-In Did Not Close In The Early 1970s. As Of May 1977, The Crystal Drive-In Was Still In Operation, I Am Not Sure If Its In Its Last Legs Or Not Because At The Time, The Crystal Drive-In There Started To Play Horror Flicks As Of The Mid-1970s I Believe. So I Believe Since The Late 1970s Or Early 1980s Is When The Drive-In Has Its Last Operations And It Was Closed. As For The Leftovers, The Pathway Was Still A Bit Visible As Of April 1988.
On December 16th, 1991; Fulton County Police Interrupted A Robbery With 3 Gunmen In This Theater. 2 Robbers Fled And 1 Ran Into The Theater. Patrons Left The Theater, An Atlanta Braves Player Was One Of The Moviegoers At The Time. The Gunman Was Never Found At This Moment.
