Uptown Theatre Fans Search for Answers

Nearly one year after long-time Chicago music promoter Jerry Mickelson, along with UTA II, purchased the abandoned Uptown Theatre, with much fanfare and assurances of good intentions, the future of the 46,000-square-foot movie palace turned rock venue, remains as elusive as the Target Corporation’s commitment to open a store in Wilson Yard.
If you attended Wednesday’s screening of the “Portrait of a Palace” John Pappas ad Michael Bisberg’s documentary/Northwestern University class project, a clean, 45-minute tour through the water-damaged, pigeon-poop-invested Chicago landmark, looking for answers, you were disappointed. But only slightly.
After all, the film’s vintage shots and first-hand exploration of its remaining majesty were worth the trip downtown to the Chicago Architecture Foundation in the Sante Fe building located at 224 S. Michigan Ave.
Co-hosted by Jerry Mickelson and Friends of the Uptown’s Andy Pierce, who is ever-present in the film, the noon-screening, part of a lunchtime-lecture series, drew a heavy crowd of Uptown natives, cultural enthusiasts, tourists and journalists, who occupied each of the nearly 120 chairs and lined the walls in the back.
Speaking to the crowd afterwards, Mickelson credited Friends of the Uptown and Ald. Mary Ann Smith (48th) for ensuring that the 84-year-old theater, almost entirely abandoned since December 19, 1981, remains standing today.

Watch a nice video here...
Unfortunately, that cannot be said for the Ald. of the 49th Ward, who condoned the destruction of a great theater building on Clark Street (the Adelphi Theater) and left us with this, a now-foreclosed-upon-for-over-a-year DANGEROUS HOLE IN THE GROUND...
...that used to look like this...
Stories are nice to read, but in the 49th Ward of Ald. Joe Moore, the Uptown Theater would have been destroyed years ago, as was the Adelphi.

The 400 Theater is back
By Mark Caro Tribune reporter
July 2, 2009
The 400 Theater -- and moviegoing in Rogers Park -- is back.That old movie theater staple of North Sheridan Road and the Loyola area -- renamed for years the Village North before closing in January -- reopened Wednesday night as the New 400 Theater.
It's still configured with its four subdivided auditoriums, but administrator Jennifer Chan said a $700,000 renovation added some (though not all) new seats, new carpeting, new screens, new audio-visual equipment, new curtains, a new concessions area and -- this is a biggie for patrons of the theater's previous incarnation -- a new air-conditioning/heating system. "It won't be freezing or too hot, which was a big complaint about the previous theater," Chan said.
Owned by the Evanston-based ADF Capital, whose president is developer Tony Fox, the theater remains a relative bargain for first-run films: $7.50 for general admission, $6.50 for students and $5 for children, seniors and matinee audiences. The opening slate: "Public Enemies," "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs," "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" and "The Hangover."
