Hey! I used to go to movies there in the 1950s & 60s. Was one of four
movie houses in central Madison, then. One on the Capitol square, the
rest a couple blocks off the square. Overture Hall, across the street
from the Orpheum was the location of the Capitol Movie Theatre. I had
the good fortune of seeing Louis Armstrong live at the Orpheum in about
1956. Good memories...

This fine old pile is a couple of blocks from the Wisconsin Capitol in

comedians, and bands now), and nearly died of arson in 2004.
I just liked the building and sign agains the evening sky:
