Two nuns walk out of an arthouse theater…anyone got a punchline? 🍿
Back when this photo was taken in 1940, the Fine Arts Building was home to Chicago’s first art-house cinema, the World Playhouse, located in the building’s smaller theater. It specialized in foreign and art films like Human Beast, a French crime drama and romance based on an 1890 novel.
What’s an old movie you wish you could’ve watched at World Playhouse?
