About

Step behind the curtain and uncover the remarkable—and sometimes shadowy—stories of three movie theaters that once lit up one Chicago neighborhood.


In this virtual walking tour with Kelli, you’ll discover:


  • A theater whose unusual ownership and transformations reflect a century of change.

  • A cinema with nine lives, each more surprising than the last.

  • A movie house where glamour mingled with a darker side of show business.


Along the way, you’ll explore HD video of these theaters’ exteriors—or what remains of them—and gain a new appreciation for the golden age of moviegoing and secrets left behind.
