There is a Theatre in Elcart Indiana called The Elco. It was built in the late 20’s. They have a HUGE system like the one you are refering to. It is still in use today, although they were just granted millions of dollars to renovate. This renovation is going to take place very soon, you should contact them right away.
Good Luck

My Family and I had gone to the Calumet Theatre when I was a kid in the early 1970’s, although we mostly went to drive in movies or The Parthanon & The Paramount in downtown Hammond. My best friend and I went to the Calumet Theatre in 1983/84 when it showed only pornographic movies. We were in the 12th grade. I wasn’t old enough to get in, but they didn’t ask for any ID. There was a Marilyn Monroe look-a-like porn feature presentation. The best part of that evening was when we spotted our gym teacher walking down the aisle.
Other than that, I do remember having the feeling that we were visiting a time capsule. The theatre was somewhat run down, but at the same time it was beautiful.
I have a ticket stub for a double feature dated SEPTEMBER 9TH 1939. the two movies were; “WIFE, HUSBAND AND FRIEND” with CORETTA YOUNG & WARNER BAXTER plus “THE KID FROM TEXAS” with DENNIS O'KEEFE. I am looking to sell this. I found it in an antique book that I was selling on eBay for an old-timer friend.
