The old El Tovar movie theater in Crystal Lake, IL

This is what the theater looked like when I was a kid. It was later renamed and "modernized". Fortunately, it has since been returned to its former glory!

Wow! How marvelous! I'd be too awed to sit quietly to view the movie!

I'm sure you would have been one of those kids that got kicked out every Saturday for rowdy behaviour!!!

How cool. It's been fun too, when back in Chicago, to see all the restored theaters downtown. The nieces couldn't believe how ornate the theater was when we took them to see Wicked.
