The Chelten Theater closed in the early to mid 1970’s to become a neighborhood House of Worship.
During its final years as a movie house, the Chelten played such
1960’s classics as “A Hard Day’s Night”, “Dr. Doolittle”,
“Mary Poppins”, “101 Dalmatians”, “The Aristocats” and “Chitty-Chitty, Bang-Bang."
The Chelten’s interior decor was provided by the same firm that did the interiors of the historic Catlow Theater in Barrington, Illnois.
The Chelten Theater is fondly remembered by many who grew up on Chicago’s Far South (and Southeast) sides during the 1950’s and 1960’s.
