The Olympic Theatre is a moderate-sized theater located in Cicero, Illinois. The facade is understated neoclassical and the interior is reminiscent of French Renaissance. It opened in 1927, originally as a ballroom. In 1937, it had been converted into a movie house, and remained so until closing in 1993, after falling in disrepair.

This is a list of every film advertised in the Chicago Tribune from the theater's opening till (eventually) its close, in chronological order. The opening date was Friday, November 19, 1937 at 5 PM, with a double bill of You Can't Have Everything and San Quentin. I have guessed at some shorts, as they were only advertised vaguely. It was my family's hometown theater and this is my tribute to it.

Still WIP (Current up to March 5, 1939)
