| Notes:
1. Theater addresses and owner names have been compiled from the 1910, 1911, and 1913 editions of the Polk's City Directory. This is not necessarily an exhaustive list. It includes only those theaters recognized and categorized as such by the publishers of the city directory. 2. Numbers in parentesis indicate slight variations in theater addresses not believed to reflect an actual relocation of the theater. The city of Chicago, for instance, reassigned street addresses along South State Street between the time that the 1910 and 1911 city directories were compiled. Other variations likely reflect alternate entrances or a box office, rather than theater entrance address. 3. Variations in the spelling of names are listed as recorded in the city directory. Alternative Street Names: 12th=Roosevelt, 22nd=Cermak, Armitage=Center, Crawford=Pulaski, Grand Blvd=South Parkway=Martin Luther King Drive, Evanston=Broadway, Robey=Damen.
