1930 photo added to Photos Section, courtesy of Lindy’s Chili & Gertie’s Ice Cream, now located at 11009 S Kedzie Ave. Image captured by Billy Duffing.
The film on the marquee has it’s own story too.

The photo I posted does not look like the same building in the other 3 photos.
But the current street view of 9th Street buildings is mostly the same as the 1940 photo.
It’s probable the other Avon photos are of a different theatre.

If someone names the large theatre marquee on the left in the photo, I’ll post it on that page too.
