I uploaded a cropped version of the same postcard which is a little crisper.
Also here is the 1909 Moving Picture World reference to the Vaudette Theatre via Broan.
Great thanks!
I will set up a page for it.
That gives the address, though before the latter 1911 Street Renumbering after the Loop in 1909.
And the Chicago History Museum has cut off access to the 1911 pdf, but we’ll go with what we have for now.
Englewood and Broan, I was forwarded a postcard image of the Vaudette Theatre on 63rd near Halsted as mentioned above.
It may have been vaudeville only however and did not show films. As the promotions above the entrance do not come back as film titles.
CinemaTour doesn’t even have the other Vaudette on 92nd Street, so no help there.
If the 63rd Street Vaudette is proven to have had films, I will set up a page for it.
Painting on Flickr.
Some artistic license as that film came out 2 years after the United Artists was demolished.
