We're talking about
this place and later
this place, right? That wasn't a theatre, it was just a blues club carved out of store space. Famous Dave's, presumably unrelated to the BBQ sauce. It also served as Issac Hayes' restaurant for a time. Incidentally, however, the liquor store on the SW corner of Clark and Chicago was a theatre.
I believe, based on the building department's permit page, that the demolished building was 745 N Clark, a single-story hot dog stand (Mister G's) with an indistinct brick facade. No great loss, certainly, unless you're looking for a hot dog or sandwich.
