Ramova Theater 2

It is so sad to see Theaters like this...
abandoned and forgottened...
The Ramova Theater opened in 1929 on Halsted Street at 35th Street, as a "sister" to the Music Box Theater in Lake View, which was opened that same year.

Like the smaller Music Box Theater, which seats about half as many as the 1,500-seat Ramova Theater, both were designed in Atmospheric style inside, their auditoriums built to resemble Spanish-courtyards. On the deep blue ceiling of the Ramova Theater, "stars" glittered before each movie, and through the archways along the side walls were scenes of the Spanish countryside.
The theater was closed around the mid-1980's
