Hi, I’m hoping a local historian/theater buff might help me.
On Sun. nite, 9/6, at 7 p.m., there will be an antique photo on ebay of ‘The White Front Restaurant’ in Chicago as someone has written on the back. If anyone can tell me anymore than what can be seen in the picture, I’d appreciate it. If it is really connected to the White Front Theater, it should be posted, it may be interesting to everyone. Thank you.
No connection to the White Front Theater.
