1,399 seats? Can't be the same theatre I went to in the late 1980's. I know for sure, it had no more then 100 seats. It was located on Lawrence Avenue.

Anyone know if there was another theatre on the same street. I remember it being a dump, it sold magazines in the lobby.

The Admiral Theatre in Chicago, Illinois opened in 1927 as a vaudeville house. it was designed by Gallup and Joy and acquired by the Balaban and Katz circuit. The Admiral closed sometime in the late 1950s, and remained shuttered for many years until opening in 1969 as an all-cartoon venue. Unable to draw the crowds necessary to remain open, the Admiral closed again. In the early 1970s, the Admiral was opened as an adult movie house. After receiving a facelift in the 1980s, the Admiral continues to thrive as an adult venue and gentlemen’s club. While the interior has been drastically altered, the facade is in remarkably good shape.
