This photo was snapped in January 1974. There is a banner below the marquee that announces a sneak preview. On January 18, 1974, there was a sneak preview of McQ, starring John Wayne. One week later, January 25, 1974, there was a sneak preview of SERPICO. So this photo was taken on one of those Fridays.
Posted some photos of additional Frederick Almenraeder Garrick Theatre heads I ran across.
One in a display currently at the Chicago Cultural Center, in the West corridor on the first floor near the restrooms.
History and confirmation of the 1961 demolition included.
The other two mounted in a brick wall in the 1900 block of North Lincoln Avenue.
