Truly amazing. "National treasure" is no exaggeration. Funny script to this Gaumont archive; every line quotable. "Freddy Bartholomew plays havoc with eye black".

Last year while I was trying to survive FB/IG push for video content, I though I had come on a fun way to share my work with sound. The few people who saw them enjoyed them but I'm not a videographer. I still thought it might be fun to share.

✨Newest Find!✨
A lovely ca. 1921 photo of the Chicago Theatre Mezzanine staircase by Underwood & Underwood!!!! Super excited to have one of these. You can see the light at the base of the stairs (long gone) plus original damask wallpaper on the back wall and I believe the edge of a giant Chinese vase.

The Palace Theatre, 1926. Built by the big bad theatre architecture firm of the 1920s & 1930s, Rapp & Rapp. Interestingly it started out only as vaudeville then added movies a few years later (most big 1920s R&R theatres were all movie palaces)

Looking up at the entrance of the Michigan Theatre, a movie palace built in 1926 by Rapp & Rapp. In 1977, the attached office building was in need of parking. Plans to tear the theatre down to build a parking lot were changed to put parking in the old theater when it was determined that demolishing the building would cause structural integrity issues to the attached office building.

I had been hoping to go inside to get photos, but security told me I had to come back during the week and sign a waiver first.

Here from the #twittermigation so have a brief #intro — I am a #chicago #historian and give tours & talks on the city, usually about disasters and/or #moviepalace s . I do #circus and #flyingtrapeze for fun and like to post #photo s of the city. I am definitely still figuring out this app!
