Paradise Theater (Chicago)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Paradise Theater, located in Chicago, Illinois, opened in 1928. Located near the intersection of West Madison Street and Crawford (later Pulaski) Avenue on Chicago's West Side, the Paradise was never a terribly successful movie house. It was closed in 1956 and demolished over the following two years.
The theater was made somewhat famous by the Styx album Paradise Theater, a "concept album" with songs that followed along with the history of the theater from opening to closing.
