Hello Friends, I would like to understand about the St. Charles/Orpheum/Saenger. I live in Paris. I took a photo a few years ago of the actual Orpheum, which stands in a street near Canal St. on the left looking towards the Lake, near Rampart. I also took photos of the Saenger big theater at Canal and Rampart (last April they were renovating it). I also have a 1915 postcard with the sign Orpheum on Canal St. I can send this postcard.
Where was the original situation of the theater? Which one was razed?
And is the one still standing (in full activity) the one where the Pilharmonic rehearsed?
I thank you for your reply. Cordially, Dan Vernhettes, Paris, France.
