Davis Theater, Historic movie theater in Lincoln Square, Chicago, US.
The Davis Theater features four screening rooms within a restored building designed by architect Walter W. Ahlschlager in early 20th-century style.
Opening in 1918 as the Pershing Theater, named after General John J. Pershing, the venue transformed from silent films to talking pictures in the 1930s.
During the 1950s, the theater adapted to neighborhood demographics by screening German language films alongside American productions for local audiences.
Located at 4614 N Lincoln Avenue, the theater operates daily from 2:30 PM on weekdays and 11:30 AM on weekends, offering current releases.
The Davis Theater remains the last operating cinema from five original theaters built in Lincoln Square, withstanding a 1999 demolition threat through community action.
