Coincides with the first photo in the Marbro’s Photo Section.
Both films were released in March & April of 1932.

The interior was featured on tonight’s episode of NBC’s “This Is Us”, as the club where Kate has her first singing gig.

Avers Theater on the right.
A typical street scene in Chicago’s old Ceska Kalifornie neighborhood, now known as Little Village. Here, this circa 1917 image from my collection features J. Klepsa as he stands in front of his cigar shop located at 3823 W. 26th St.
The cigar shop used to be a gathering place for men to converse, and share neighborhood happenings and gossip.
Current street view shows the facade was either encapsulated or heavily modified.
It maintains the same height as it’s neighboring building to the right.
