The September 13, 1913 edition of The Lake County Times had a brief notice about the proposed Aubry theatre: “START WORK ON AUBRY THEATER
“Edward A. Aubrey, the city comptroller, is about to become an ‘angel’ of the drama. That the north side may have a Little Rialto of its own he has made arrangements to finance the construction of a pretensious playhouse on property he owns near the South Shore depot. Thereabout the bright lights have already gleamed but something has always been lacking. Aubry thinks that something is a vaudeville house. The foundation will be begun the first of next week and as soon as possible the suprestructure is to go up. The house is to seat 300. It will most likely be named ‘The Aubrey.’”
The Aubry Theatre was mentioned in the October 19, 1917 issue of the Lake County Times, but the item was about a political meeting held there, so I don’t know if it was still regularly operating as a movie house by that time: “Last night Aubrey theatre was packed when Mayor John D. Smalley, Treasurer Otto Duelke, Clerk William Kolb, Councilman at Large Candidate Albert Roo and Attorney Phil Greenwald spoke.”
