SUMMARY:The Uptown\, Chicago's Endangered Movie Palace - A New Book Presentation
DESCRIPTION:The beautiful old Uptown Theatre needs help! That was the message delivered at the Cliff Dwellers the evening of November 5 by Robert Loerzel\, and James (Andy) Pierce\, authors of a new book\, “THE UPTOWN: Chicago’s Endangered Movie Palace.”  Supported by 46th Ward Alderwoman Angela Clay\, they made the case for why this amazingly beautiful old venue deserves financial support for a desperately needed renovation.\nCelebrating the 100th anniversary of the historic Uptown Theatre in Chicago\, a new book\, The UPTOWN\, was released in August of 2025. The presentation took guests back to the theater’s ballyhooed opening in 1920. It was a magical place created by Chicago architects Rapp & Rapp for Balaban & Katz\, one of the nation’s leading theater chains of the time.  The book follows the building through its five decades as a theater\, and its four decades of darkness.
