City - Chicago IL - Gilt and Pleasure 1941 Jigsaw Puzzle

Colorized photo from 1941 Original title: Crowd coming out of the Regal movie theatre Photographer: Russell Lee Location: 4719 South Parkway (now Martin Luther King Drive), Chicago, IL The Regal theatre was originally opened in 1928, the outside was designed in a Baroque-Revival style, and a Moorish style on the inside, with designs of North Africa and Spain. The inside of the theatre itself was made to look like you were in an Arabian tent. The sky was distant with castles fading off. The lobby is what you are looking at here. It was a real relief to people, as people can smoke out here and couldn't in the theatre itself. It was also probably nice to rest your eyes from the fanciness of the theatre. The theatre feature act was typically a 22 piece jazz band, the "Regalettes" chorus line, and the Baron House organist. However they had other shows and bands that included Louis Armstrong, County Baise, Cab Calloway, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Lena Horne, the Ink Spots, Moms Mabley, the Mills Brothers, and Bessie Smith. The theatre eventually closed in 1971, it was empty years before that though. Later on, I believe in 1973, they opened the New Regal Theatre, which has even more schmaltz than this place had. But I believe it too closed due to covid.

I had fun putting the pieces of the puzzles together. They weren’t to hard and the art was pretty. The colours and the images were pretty and vibrant.

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my sister and niece who love puzzles. Very cute. Good quality printing, even with the details of the leaves in the background.
