Opened with Jeanne Crain in “Margie” (unknown if extras added).
It closed in 1959 and reopened as Frisina Cinema 1 & 2 on November 10th, 1978.
Eisentraut Theatres is the operator of this theater
Typo in the description/name history – the correct spelling is ‘Frisina’. For a picture from the early ‘70s, when it was still a store, go to: http://gis.hpa.state.il.us/hargis/ and enter 'Frisina Building’ in the search bar. At least there’s a good excuse for the current entry, since the store destroyed the old one.
This is now called the Taylorville Cinema website
AMC closed the Cinema on July 28th, 2011. The next day would mark the first day Taylorville has had no movie screen since the mid 1920’s.
Here is a 1985 photo:
