The Aschers sold in April 1923, according to the Tribune:
THEATER, STORES SOLD BY ASCHER; PRICE, $328,000
According to the revenue stamps on the deed, Nathan Ascher, president of the Cosmopolitan Securities company, was paid $328,000, subject to an incumbrance of $90,000, for the Cosmopolitan theater, store and office building.
PUBLIC telephone.
Not listed in 1955.
The phone number in 1953 was RAdcliff 3-9452, but since their phone was stolen I wouldn’t recommend trying to call.
From the Chicago Tribune, June 2, 1945:
“THEATER’S PAY PHONE STOLEN
John Camplan, owner of the Cosmo theatre,
7938 S. Halsted st., told police yesterday that
burglars entered the theater thru an open
stage door Wednesday and took a pay tele-
phone from a booth.”
A Kimball theater organ was installed in the Cosompolitan Theater in 1914.
