Chicago Theatre

Downtown, Chicago

A Preview

"This is the Chicago Theatre, opened in 1921. Look at that marquee. It's one of the most photographed signs in the city. But we're not here for the sign. We're here because this theater was neutral ground. During Prohibition, there were places where no violence was allowed. Certain restaurants. Certain churches. And this theater."
