I went by the Village last week. The front doors have been covered with plywood and there is only one spot where you can see inside. The day I was there it was so dark inside that I couldn’t see anything at all. Here are the links to a few of my pictures:
I was happy to find show listings for the New 400 on Flixster on Friday. I drove down Sheridan on Saturday night and noticed the theatre looked dark which seemed odd since it was supposed to be open. On Sunday afternoon I went to the theatre to see a movie but it wasn’t open. The sign on the door said it will open on July 1.
There’s not much left inside this theatre. Urban Remains (a local salvage company) has removed quite a bit of the ornamentation from the interior of the building. Supposedly the attached building is being turned into apartments while the theatre will be used as storage. I was told that the stained glass emblem was removed last week by the salvagers who plan on displaying it in their museum. A couple weeks ago they let me into the theatre to take pictures that I have posted on photobucket. I have a couple pictures of the stained glass window which was still intact on my visit. The auditorium was very dark so taking pictures was a little tricky (walking around was also very tricky!). I have some really good pictures of the second floor lobby (where the stained glass window is). Even in its current state, it is obvious that this was a stunning theatre in its day. Here are two slide shows that I created from my pictures:

You could be right about Google. The “Checks Cashed” building is next door to the east of the theatre.
