The Chicago Theatre was re-named Joyland in 1930 and it closed in 1951.

Could this undated Chicago Tribune photo be of this Chicago Theater?
The theater in the picture looks like it would have been numbered 366. If I’m reading this 1902 street map correctly, house numbers on State Street reached 321 at or near Congress before the renumbering in 1909, so I think 366 for a site south of Harrison would not be out of the question.
