This renovated Covent Hotel article has a photo (added to gallery) of what used to be the theatre lobby entrance, and later the driveway to rear parking area that had been the auditorium footprint, is now closed off with windows presumably for retail space.
It is interesting that they left the “Hotel Covent men’s residence” ghost sign on the South elevation of the building at the top.
It was converted into a live concert venue Club Eastbrook 1986-1993, prior to becoming The Orbit Room which closed in 2018.
Confirmed Demolished 2023.
Link with photos below.
Hachidan8, “The Exorcist” played at the State-Lake 2/15/74-6/13/74, and again 4/20/79-5/24/79 as a second run.
“Papillon” preceded it 12/21/73-2/14/74.
The Gateway Theatre featured it at the time of it’s release too.
All films that played at the State-Lake 1964-1980 are listed by dates on page 5 in a 2007 comment.
As are most of the other downtown theatres.
Hachidan8, for reference all films shown at the Loop Theater 1964-1978 are listed on page 3, in a post from 2007.
Same with most of the other downtown theatres.
Update II via Tim O'Neill:
“January 30-February 5, 1976. THE KILLING MACHINE opened single on Jan 23, but SEVEN TO ONE was added on Jan 30 to make it a double bill."
