As curator of the Wilmette Historical Museum, I’m so glad to have all of these wonderful memories recorded here; I’ve learned a lot from them, and have printed them out to add to our reference files. If anyone has photos or other memorabilia about the Teatro, or for that matter about Wilmette, we’d love to hear from you. Our website is at http://www.wilmettehistory.org) Incidentally, we recently learned that the Teatro’s old Kimball organ was rescued and is now in the hands of a collector who is restoring it.
One small correction to the info in the heading: the Teatro opened in the spring of 1927, not 1926, and closed on September 10, 1965. It was torn down early in 1966.
