Chicago Theatre
The grandeur of The Chicago Theatre often leaves its visitors breathless. When it opened on October 26, 1921, it was called the "Wonder Theatre of the World." It was the first large, lavish movie palace in America and was the prototype for all others of this type. The vertical sign "C-H-I-C-A-G-O," at nearly six stories high, is one of the few such signs in existence today. A symbol of State Street and Chicago, the sign and marquee are landmarks themselves. The Chicago Theatre image highlights the theatre's iconic sign and the building's beautiful, distinctive façade with musician Andrew Bird's name on the marquee.
