Music Box Theatre (Chicago)
The Music Box Theatre at 3733 N. Southport Ave., Chicago, Illinois, opened on August 22, 1929, a time when the movie palaces in downtown Chicago each had seating capacities of around 3,000 people. The Music Box, which sat 800, was considered an elaborate little brother to those theatres. Theatre Architecture magazine noted in 1929 that the theatre "represents the smaller, though charming and well equipped, sound picture theatre which is rapidly taking the place of the 'deluxe' palace." The opening film was ''Mother’s Boy'' starring Morton Downey (father of talk show host Morton Downey, Jr.), Beryl Mercer and a young Brian Donlevy (in his 5th film)
==The building==
The theatre was built for a cost of $110,000. The entire building, which also included nine storefronts and 32 apartments, cost $260,000. Louis A. Simon, a local architect, who was better known for his Depression era WPA Post Offices and homes for the nouveau riche, designed the building. The building was erected by The Southport Avenue Businessmen’s Association and operated by Lasker and Sons, who operated several smaller neighborhood houses in Chicago.
