the marquee for princess is lit up at night

The Princess Theater was a silent film and vaudeville playhouse when it opened in 1919. It was restored in 1941 with a brillantly lite art deco neon marquee and purchased by the city of Decatur as a venue for the performing arts. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

an old theater lit up at night with lights on it's front and side

A new marquee at the Carpenter Theater. This new marquee is a replica of the original, aside from the digital ticker line and the illuminated lettering. Originally this was traditional removable backlit letting. Here is a older photo of the theater that shows the ugly 1970s marquee. Originally, this theater was a Loew's movie palace.
