My great uncle, Bill Studdert, was the manager of the Chicago Southtown Theater. He was a great guy — and really loved “showbiz” and the great theater palaces. (He was also manager of the Tivoli…) When the Southtown Theater swan pool display was removed he gave the wrought iron furniture — 2 chairs and 2 settees — that were displayed near the pool to his sister. I have the set now. Does anyone have a photograph of the swan pool that shows the wrought iron furniture? The set is now black but my aunt recalls that they were originally white. They are very heavy, ornate and have beautiful heart-shaped backs. Thanks!
