I saw Bette Midler back in 1974 or 1975 with her “Clams on a Half Shell” Show. A nice place for stage shows.

The part about the illegal sign was mentioned on some other 1938 photos. It apparently had something to do with the projection of the marquee over the street past some statutory limit.

All work ok with me, so if you are having a problem opening them, it could be a settings issue on your firewall or as LM stated above, your service provider.

Chuck….That is one of the best photos that I’ve ever seen. It’s a shame that you can’t see it. LOL
Maybe it’s a problem with your service provider. I just tried the link again and it still works. The name of the movie on the marquee is “In Old Chicago”.
