1930’s photo added courtesy of Michael Brown, via the Vintage Neon Heaven Facebook page.
The film on the marquee was released in 1932, so the 1938 opening year may be incorrect.
Or it was a re-release.
Forgot to post that I added a 1967 photo of The Turtles booked at Steel Pier, Memorial Day Weekend that year.
Photo credit Michael Macey.
They recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of “Happy Together” reaching Number 1 in April of `67.
Unseating The Beatles “Penny Lane”.
There are now 10 pics in the Photos Section.
8/07/23 photo added which has a poster for the Chateau Theatre on the far left.
The photo is a view of Lawrence Avenue, looking east near Kedzie Avenue.
So pretty far away from where the Chateau was located.
