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

95 Years Ago<\/strong> \u2026 Saturday, August 16, 1924:<\/em> Following its first eight years in business when it had been fraught with ownership changes, unfulfilled plans, and an influenza outbreak, the Avon Theater<\/strong> of Decatur<\/strong><\/span><\/a> reopens today under new management and with a brighter outlook. Assuming control over the Avon from the Balaban and Katz Theater Corporation<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, which decided to not invest further in the ornate Water Street<\/strong> movie house and temporarily closed in in June, are local businessmen Christian<\/strong> and Gust Constanopoulos<\/strong> and their cousin George Stevens<\/strong> of Chicago<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. The Constans had previously been managers of another Balaban and Katz property up the block from the Avon, the Empress Theatre<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, as well as several downtown confectionaries. They and brothers Angelo<\/strong> and Theodore<\/strong> would bring stability to the Avon, retiring the vaudeville offerings to concentrate on quality film presentation and modernizing the facilities, and successfully operate it for more than 40 years along with several other venues in central Illinois<\/strong>. Some believe Gust, the Constan most synonymous with the Avon during this time, appears in the upper balcony and hallways to this day<\/span><\/a> even though he passed away in 1965.<\/p>\n
