No, I went to Stockton School at Montrose & Beacon, but I had friends that went to St. Mary’s. I went on to Senn High School & graduated in 1964.

To KenC,

I am interested in a copy of your Mode flyer. I grew up a few block from the theater in the 1950’s and early 60’s. Great memories. Mom world give me and my brother 27 cents and send us to the Mode. 17 cents for admission and 10 cents for popcorn. That was in the early to mid 50’s. I grew up in Buena Park on Buena where it meets Kenmore, right next door to Rowland Funeral home and across the street from St. Mary’s of the Lake and what we referred to as “The Little Park.” “The Big Park” was down by Wilson & Lake Shore Drive.
If you’re interested I have a picture of the Mode from 1937 that I can have a print made. It was actually from an ad in the Architectural Record from 1937. Thanks.
