The Art Institute of Chicago has a great photo of the Bay in its collection: http://www.artic.edu/aic/collections/artwork/104198

When I was a student at Northland College (mid 1970s) the Bay saved my sanity MANY a time! It was the ONLY source of first run stuff east of Duluth.

Among first runs I saw there… THE EXORCIST THE GODFATHER THE GREAT WALDO PEPPER BATTLE OF BRITAIN (tho that one was really a re-release) GONE WITH THE WIND (ditto, obviously).

For a Chicago city kid stuck in the Nort Woods for the first time, the Bay was like a lifeboat!

The Bay Theater is actually a 6 Plex now. I just discovered this theatre this month while in Ashland on business. They expanded into 2 neighboring buildings. I hope to see a movied there this week. Love the old theatres! Especially ones like this on Main Stree in a historic downtown. I have current pics, if anyone is interested
