Had to stop to google The Music Box Theater during the Southport Art Festival yesterday! I mean just look at this thing 😍.
.
🤓 The theatre opened on August 22, 1929 and cost a total of $110,000. It was really unique in that it was one of the first theaters in Chicago that could only be used for viewing films because it did not have a stage like most others at the time.
.
👻 “Whitey” (his nickname) was the manager of The Music Box from opening night in 1929 to November 24, 1977. On Thanksgiving eve of 1977, Whitey returned to close the theater and fell asleep on the couch in the lobby… and never woke up. The couch still remains in the lobby to this day. Visitors attribute a lot of odd occurrences to his ghost!.
