The Gillioz "Theatre Beautiful": Remembering Springfield's Theatre History, 1926-2006 : An Illustrated History Marking the Gala Reopening of the Gillioz Theatre in Springfield, Missouri, October 2006

Recounting the many live vaudeville acts and films that graced the theatre's stage and screen, The Gillioz "Theatre Beautiful" presents a social history of entertainment through the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, the Second World War, the Cold War, the Sixties and the Seventies. Of note is the Springfield theatre's hosting of three movie world premieres-with future U. S. president Ronald Reagan appearing in each.
