The Fashion Theater was still listed as open in the 1950 edition of Film Daily Yearbook.
The sight of the Fashion Theatre was a large parking lot 2 levels it was a city lot,if you watch the movie “Running Scared” you can see it in the background,it was tourn town and recofigured to be just a simple parking lot. But now their is a bulding on the spot witch is a joint venture with DePaul University, Columbia Collage(Chicago) and Roosevelt Univeristy called “The University Center of Chicago"
The 1st parking lot was opperating untill i think the mid 90
s and was taked down and made into a singel level lot. Then the Universitys bult this new buld. on the spot.
