The Midwest Theatre opened its doors on Thanksgiving Day 1931 with James Cagney in “Blond Crazy” and an unnamed Laurel & Hardy comedy, featuring sound installations of RCA.
On December 12, 1944, the Midwest Theatre began screening first-run A-films following the fire and explosion at the Tower Theatre, the previous day. The Midwest Theatre went back to B-films following the reopening of the Tower Theatre in June 1946.
The Midwest Theatre closed for the final time on May 30, 1951 with the Zane Grey double feature “To The Last Man” and “Heritage Desert” along with the Dingbat Terrytoon “Sour Grapes” (listed as a Heckle & Jeckle cartoon for unknown reasons but its truly just a plain Dingbat cartoon) and a newsreel.
Colorfull neon trim is long gone, and the marquee too, but the Mid-West Theatre is still in very good shape,
