The Princess Theatre was opened in the 1920’s, and was a sister theater to the Webster Theatre in nearby Steeleville, IL.

It was closed during the 1930’s, but re-opened and operated until the 1960’s. It then stood vacant for several years, and was then rebuilt to be used as a welding business. It was demolished in the 1990’s, and a bank now stands on the site.

Boxoffice, Jan. 27, 1958: “The Princess, a 400-seater owned by Herschel E. Webster of Steeleville, was reopened recently following repair of damages caused by a terrific hail storm. The large hailstones riddled the roof and the interior was damaged by water that came through the holes. Moisture also caused a short circuit in the electric wiring.”
