The theatre has a wonderful ceiling that looks like a Sevres cup.
Unfortunately, it is about to be converted into a yeshiva. A local hispanic group is trying to make stop the sale so it can be used as a cultural center. It would be a tragedy if it were not preserved as some kind of theater.
Technically, it was located in Woodlawn, the neighborhood south of Hyde Park. I lived a half a block away from it when I was a child.
I played in the nursery but I wouldn’t stay there without my mother. I remember live swans in the pool. I saw “Blackboard Jungle” there.
