This Irving Park neighborhood theatre opened by October 1909 as the Mabel Theatre, located on N. Elston Avenue near N. Central Park Avenue. Originally a playhouse, it began screening movies in 1912.
In the 1930’s it was renamed the Revue Theatre, and continued operating until 1949. The building is currently used as a plumbing fixture store.

I was mistaken; the central was in fact located at 3937 N Central Park, just a few doors away.
Also, two Sanborn maps show the capacity as 496.
And the present use is a plumbing fixture store called “Showerworks”
Hi BWChicago;
The other listing on this site for a Central Theatre in Chicago is fairly far away. Did the Central that was near the Revue have another name?
Thanks!
