REGAL OPENS THIS WEEKHeadline in the Pittsburgh Courier, 1927
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, FEBRUARY 2: The Regal Theater, 47th and South Parkway, is scheduled to open February 4th. An elaborate program is planned for the opening week with Fess Williams, a Quintette from New York City, to do the stunts on the stage with a selected orchestra of 12 artists, while Dave Peyton will direct the orchestra in the pit. There will be several big loop acts on stage and first run pictures on the screen.
It’s called the South side’s million dollar theater and a large force of our race will be in evidence as employees. The theater is next to the Savoy Ballroom. Just north of the theater will be a drug store and on the 47th Street side, a big department store. The Urban League is making an effort, with the assistance of Sheridan A. Bruseaux, to supply the department store with competent clerks and sales girls. Mr. Dorrell of Lubiner and Trintz is manager of the Theater and Mr. Jordan, his assistant.
