In 1945, the Milwaukee directory listed the Zenith at 2498 W. Hopkins, as opposed to North. I don’t know much about Milwaukee geography, so perhaps someone knows if Hopkins runs north-south or east-west.
The 1945 Milwaukee city directory lists a German Kino Radio Theater on 2459 W. Fond du Lac in Milwaukee. I’m wondering if this was a house just for radio production and not for films. If so, it wouldn’t qualify to be added here.
Here is a 1944 street map. Stephenson is on the left, at E-40. It looks like Stephenson becomes Whittier Blvd. at some point: http://tinyurl.com/3cruan
Wallace Reid was a very popular silent film star who died shortly after the advent of talking pictures. It looks like his wife directed the Warner Baxter film.
It probably was the Ventnor. It’s been a while.
Hard to believe that was in Camden. I never saw the town in its better days.

There was another German Kino theater in Milwaukee in 1945. I wonder if it was a chain.

Yes, it was a joke. I make them once in a while.
Once the theater opens, we can add it as a separste page. It looks like they are putting in a large glass facade. I was by there today.
I don’t think anyone living around Soto and Olympic calls the neighborhood “Wyvernwood” any more.
