Opened May 22, 1936 with James Cagney in “Ceiling Zero”. The Lincoln Theatre was a basic neighborhood theater located on the south side. It was given a redo and on December 1956 it was reopened as the renamed Holiday Theater, screening June Alyson in “You Can’t Run Away From It” & Glenn Ford in “The Fastest Gun Alive”. It was closed on April 29, 1982 with Andre Gregory in “My Dinner with Andre”.

It was demolished later in 1982 due to street widening.
