No, go ahead. I’m going down there in about nine months, so I will wait until then to add any theaters in Brazil.

Here is part of a March 2003 article about the closure. You have to sign up for the news service if you want to read the rest.

That means the theater is the largest of the two stores on the website. I thought maybe it was the smaller one.

Looks like status should be closed/demolished. The Dixie closed as a theater on May 31, 1957.

Here is the text of a press release from February 2005. Nothing has been done since then. One local politician listed as his goal for 2008 resolution of the impasse regarding the restoration of the Princess.

Press Release

( Rushville , IN ) The Heart of Rushville and the Rush County Economic & Community
Development Corporation (ECDC) are pleased to announce that an Indiana reservation
grant in the amount of $2,000 from Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana has been
secured to conduct a feasibility study on the rehabilitation and future use of Princess
Theater. The Masonic organization currently owns the building and has participated in
exploring future options for the Princess Theater. The grant requires a local match from the community; both the Masonic organization and ECDC have pledged $500 each for the local match. Consequently, an amount of $3,000 will be available to complete the feasibility study. The Heart of Rushville has agreed to serve as the non-profit 501 © 3 organization that will spearhead this project. In addition, the Rush County Heritage has agreed to support this project. Although the grant is small, it is a first step in determining the feasibility of rehabilitating this notable building in Downtown Rushville. The Princess Theater is located in the Historic Commercial District of Rushville and may be eligible for Historic Preservation tax credits.

Potential future uses for the building that are being considered include: a community movie theater, cabaret theatre, performing arts venue, arts & cultural center, and continued home for the Masonic Lodge.

A committee composed of representatives from the Masonic organization, Heart of
Rushville, ECDC and others will be moving forward to select an architect/consultant to
complete the feasibility study.
