CONFIDENTIAL ALMANAC | Dates in Film Culture History<\/strong><\/p>\n

100 Years Ago<\/strong> \u2026 Friday, October 27, 1916:<\/em> Proclaimed to be one of the grandest playhouses in Illinois<\/strong> and designed by local architectural firm Aschauer & Waggoner<\/strong> as a completely fireproof structure, the Lincoln Square Theatre<\/strong><\/a><\/span> opens for business in downtown Decatur<\/strong> and hosts a standing-room-only crowd that enjoys a touring production of the Broadway<\/strong> comedy, Hit-the-Trail-Holiday<\/span><\/strong>, as recounted in Lincoln Square Theatre<\/strong><\/span> by Jasper P. DeVidal<\/strong>. Although constructed to include a roomy backstage area, orchestra pit, and pitch-perfect acoustics for live performances, the Lincoln Square would be retrofit in the coming months to accommodate motion pictures. Managers eventually added a projection booth in June 1917 and played their first films, THE CALL OF HER PEOPLE<\/strong> and THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER<\/strong>, the next month, following with the installation of a pipe organ in January 1919.<\/p>\n

FLICKER OF THE WEEK | Suggestions in Full-Motion Arts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although we subconsciously handed out \u201cFOW<\/strong>\u201d honors to the \u201c100th Birthday Bash<\/strong>\u201d at the Lincoln Square Theatre<\/strong> in Decatur<\/strong> on Fri., 10\/21, 7 p.m.<\/strong>, and the \u201cMovies under the Dome<\/strong>\u201d show at the McLean County Museum of History<\/strong> in Bloomington<\/strong> on Tues., 10\/25, 7 p.m.<\/strong>, in a previous post<\/a><\/span>, we feel the need to drop one more vote since neither of the above directly involves the watching of a feature film. You could argue we\u2019re still fudging our judgment to a degree, but we\u2019re having our Transylvanian cake and eating it too by suggesting an interactive trip to the Frankenstein place for a \u201cshadow cast\u201d presentation of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW<\/strong> (20th Century Fox<\/strong>) during the next week! The time-warping reputation of this mid-Seventies cult item directed by Jim Sharman<\/strong> and created by co-star Richard O\u2019Brien<\/strong> precedes itself handily, so we\u2019ll jump to the left and cut to the chase by noting it has been rare for multiple area groups to perform alongside the big-screen Tim Curry, Barry Bostwick, Susan Sarandon<\/strong>, and company in the same Halloween<\/strong> season. That is no problem in 2016 and we can thank the collegiate crowd for keeping the dream alive. University of Illinois<\/strong> students will do ROCKY<\/strong> at the Art Theater Co-op<\/strong> on 10\/21, 10\/22, 10\/26<\/strong>, and 10\/27<\/strong>, all at 10 p.m.<\/strong>, Illinois State University<\/strong> students will do ROCKY<\/strong> at the Normal Theater<\/strong> on 10\/27<\/strong> and 10\/29<\/strong> at 7 p.m.<\/strong> as well as 10\/28<\/strong> at 10:30 p.m.<\/strong>, and Millikin University<\/strong> students will do ROCKY<\/strong> at the Avon Theatre<\/strong> on 10\/21<\/strong> and 10\/22<\/strong> at the traditional stroke of midnight<\/strong>. Primp yourselves nicely and hold those props tightly as you seek out sugar and bi and everything not-nice at a participating movie theater! \u201cFOW<\/strong>\u201d is hereby fin<\/em>, babies, so don’t you panic!<\/p>\n

Note:<\/em> There was no<\/em> debate at MFHQ<\/strong>. We skipped the Fox Network <\/strong>remake, too.<\/p>\n
