Year by year new Chicagos appear. They are integral
parts of the old Chicago, just a little bit removed from the parent, but
closely tied to it by easy and quick means of approach. They are in
every way a part of the city's heart. These new Chicagos are in
appearance cities in themselves, and they have all those things which
make for business, pleasure, social intercourse and for a better and
greater Chicago generally.
An imposingly beautiful new theater, known as the Uptown Theatre was opened yesterday for the enjoyment of Chicagoans, at the corner of Broadway and Lawrence avenue. It is one of Balaban & Katz houses of entertainment. It is beautiful without garishness. For its architecture and its adornment the inspiration was Spanish. Chicago has 3,000,000 people within its borders. New Chicago and Old Chicago are one. The man on Madison street is no stranger to the man on Lawrence avenue, nor to the man on the boulevards south and west. Worthy theaters always will have their place in Chicago. |
