Back as a twin, the original Showcase I & II housed a total of 450 seats, with 225 seats in each auditorium with installations of stereophonic sound. It was first operated by Rhyan Theatres led by H.C. Rhyan, who also operated theaters in Fox Lake, McHenry, Grayslake, Libertyville, and Antioch.

Some other installations the theater had as of 1973 include twin floor chandeliers amid a general motiff of dark walnut furnishings and deep red carpeting. Special art by David White were also added in each auditorium, and the theater building’s original landscape features evergreens, grass, and stone by Flowerwoods.
