Washed dishes, cleaned bathroom fixtures, cleaned out the dresser in the bathroom - made the beds, etc. Mother & I got the dinner. Father & Mr. D. got a 'carload' of fruit etc. I went after Mrs. D. & we had dinner here.
Louise & I went to the show tonight - Keith's - "The Cops" - not so awful bad. Got home about 12:00.
About Keith's: Built in 1922 for $2 million, this palatial vaudeville theater opened on November 6, 1923 with a seating capacity of 2,530. It later made the switch to movies.
In the 1950’s, the Palace Theater became the home for Cinerama—a renovation that required the removal of 1,800 seats. Despite the initial success, the Palace Theater, and its neighbors, fell on hard times and the theater closed in 1969. The marquee was subsequently torn down and the theater was boarded up.
In 1970, the Playhouse Square Association was formed to save the Palace Theater and other nearby theaters, such as the Ohio and the Allen. The Palace Theater reopened in 1973 as a performing arts venue and is still part of the Playhouse Square group.
It remains a live theater and performing arts venue to this day.
