Orpheum Theatre

My father, Ralph W. Lawler was manager of the Orpheum Theater in Springfield Illinois in the early 1930s…I have memories as a small child of the theater and have a photo of the theater. In fact the Orpheum was robbed while my father was the manager and the robber didn’t want to believe that my father did not know the combination to the safe….but he was willing to wait until an employee who did have the combination arrived for work…and then the robber stole the money in the safe!
