"An opulent French Baroque–style movie palace that opened in 1921 and set the standard for grand theaters nationwide; today it functions as a 3,600-seat auditorium that has hosted icons such as Aretha Franklin, the Jackson 5, Prince, Oasis, and Dolly Parton. The venue's ornate legacy and large-capacity programming make it a centerpiece of the Loop's cultural life." - Devorah Lev-Tov
