Somewhere on the vast internet, is a link to a `50’s juke box accessory called Band Box.
It was a miniature 24 inch half circle stage with curtains,that had big-band dressed puppets that appeared to play little instruments along to the juke box. The print ad was hilarious.

I beleive the company that made them was out of Chicago as well. Band Box Theatre might have been where they got the name from.
