I lived in Peoria from 1942 and the Majestic was not showing any movies in my time. I think there were occasional special live performances there before it became the WMBD-TV studios in the early ‘50’s. Bill Adams, who wrote many reminiscence columns for the Peoria Journal Star in the '80’s & '90’s is the person to contact about the history of theaters in Peoria (he managed the leading theater, the Madison, for many years). He could be contacted thru the newspaper.
