From the January 10, 2023, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1923, 100 Years Ago.
"Work on the DeKalb theatre, DeKalb's newest playhouse, is progressing rapidly now and many people stop to give the beautiful front a careful inspection.
"Today, much additional equipment for the place arrived, as three large loads of steam radiators were lined up in front of the place for an hour or more.
"The furniture is purchased and will be shipped as soon the order comes from the manager. Plans are about completed for opening the new playhouse about May 1."
And, it still stands. The famed Egyptian Theater also is in DeKalb.
