In Mt. Vernon, IL is the Granada Theatre. . Sadly, this theatre is no longer in business. Another lost treasure from the
heyday of single screen theatres. This theatre originally opened for business on December 16, 1937. After a fun of nearly 60 years, the theatre shut down and was given to the city of Mt. Vernon in 1995.
UPDATE 05/17 : The Granada Theatre has been sold to a local developer. According to this news article, the non-profit organization that has owned the theatre from 2002 will be dissolved. Anticipation is that the theatre will be partially reopened in Fall of 2017 and reopened in spring 2018. 05-17
