I used to go to this theater between 1957 and 1964. It was the first theater I went to when we moved to Chicago. We lived in the projects at 23rd and State St. My mom worked at a textile factory on Wabash near Quinn Chapel Church and may dad worked as a radar man at the Nike Missile site at Burnham Park(31st Street Beach).
The first movie my mom took me to see there was Rodan (1957). I then when on Sat. mornings with my friend, we would walk there down Michigan Ave to see Roger Corman films and Serials.
