This is interesting.
I added a 1908 photo of a prior Logan Theatre.
Located at 2164 N. Milwaukee, changed to 2564 N. Milwaukee during the 1909 Chicago Street Re-Numbering Plan.
Photo courtesy of the Logan Square Preservation Facebook page.
I don’t know if it was a film or live theatre.
But it would deserve it’s own page if it was.
Circa 1956 photo added courtesy of the AmeriCar The Beautiful Facebook page.
Not the best quality, but the building and marquee is visible on the left.
P.S., the new page already had the 1981 photo. I just added the photo and history credit source. Drive-Ins.com never updated other than the photo. It would have been the same info anyway.
Cool. Will do.
I also originally tried updating the Drive-Ins.com page for the 53 Auto-Vue. If that worked I’ll post a link. I think that was were I got the original car capacity.
1930’s photo added courtesy of Stephen Gennerich.

Well, apparently the Admins removed the 53 Auto-Vue marquee photo from 1981 I added. Not sure why.
