Egyptomania: Egyptian Theatre, DeKalb (U.S.)

"Since 1929, the Egyptian Theatre, 135 N. Second St., has been a colorful fixture in DeKalb. Since the nonprofit organization Preservation of the Egyptian Theatre (PET) took over the building in 1978, more than $2.3 million has been put into renovation projects to return the theater to its original state. Even so, many people know little about this historic DeKalb landmark."
There's a lovely photo of the theatre on the above page.
