And now Jeff is in Pennsylvania checking out the Sayre Theater, an old Vaudeville house. We’re still in Lombard, Illinois talking about the DuPage Theatre.
We’re talking about the DuPage Theatre in Lombard, IL and you’re showing us a picture of the Diane Drive-In in Carlinville, IL. Don’t know what this relationship is but at least they’re in the same state.

More stupidness, this time by Jeff. What is the relationship between this theater, the El Morro Theatre in Gallup, NM and the DuPage Theatre in Lombard, IL. None! They don’t even look alike.
‘Portrichmond'says a Mr. Owens was the first owner of the Belgrade, although PAB lists Louis Rovner as the client. PAB also says “Louis Rovner was part of the company of Handle & Rovner Amuesment Enterprises, which operated many theatres in the Philadelphia area.” That Philadelphia area included at least a dozen theatres in South Jersey. Could it be that Mr. Owens was the manager of the Belgrade Theatre, not the owner?
The exact address for this theater was 2061 Dickinson Street (at S. 21st St.) 19146.
The theater was later demolished and the site remains an empty lot.
The actuarial address for this theater was 1838 S. 20th Street (at Mifflin Street) — 19103. The theater was demolished and the site is now fenced in and is used as a park and play area.
The British are coming!
Just waiting for The Beatles to cross the intersection.
More from Great Britain!
Now we’re in Great Britain? How did that Happen?
And this looks like a converted bank.
Yo Jeff, this theater looks like should be on the Mexican border.
This photo is Gross, (Gross 20th Century) in Alaska. Thanks Jeff. What happened to the DuPage Theatre that was on this page?
And Jeff has even more pictures from Anchorage, Alaska.
Jeff’s still in Anchorage, Alaska.
I thought we we were talking about the DuPage Theater in Lombard, Illinois. How did we end up in Anchorage, Alaska?
An old red barn in Benld, IL. Now back to the DuPage Theatre in Lombard, IL.
And here is Lou again, this time with a an old 1934 playbill from from the Arcade Theatre in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania. Must be traveling with Jeff.
“Eight Girls in a Boat” drama (1934-Paramount) starring Dorothy Wilson, (1909-1998) and Douglass Montgomery, (1907-1966).
Don’t know what this has to do with the demolished DuPage Theatre in Lombard, Pennsylvania, but it may be of interest to someone.

And how the hell does the Center Theatre in Ludington, MI relate to the DuPage Theatre in Lombard, IL? More stupidness!
What the hell does chewing gum scraped from the Kenosha Theatre in Kenosha, WI have to do with the DuPage Theatre in Lombard, IL? Stupid!
Is this the box office and where is it going?
Jeepers creepers Rick, in 1967, just imagine, the Bijou Theatre might have been hiding in one of those big old creepy buildings.
Gosh Rick, in the heart of the long-vanished theater district, there must have been a bunch of long abandoned theaters in there.
Today, the site remains an empty lot, covered with vegetation.
Who were the architects of the Star/Bell theater and in what style was it designed? And yes, a photo of the theater would be nice!

Well it’s been a year and no one has any additional information on this theater?
