Jazz Age Chicago--United Artists Theater |
 | | The theater was to become the debut venue in Chicago for all major United Artists releases. |
| | Burdened by declining ticket revenues and a lack of sufficiently enticing new films from Hollywood, the theater shut down entirely for a few weeks during the summer months of 1932. |
| | In later years, control of the United Artists Theater passed from its namesake corporation to the Balaban and Katz chain, which eventually became part of Plitt Theaters. |
