Harris and Selwyn Theaters, Twin theaters in Loop District, Chicago, United States
The Harris and Selwyn Theaters feature distinct architectural designs, with Italian Renaissance details on Harris and English Classical elements on Selwyn Theater.
Built in 1922 by New York producers Sam Harris and the Selwyn brothers, these theaters transformed from live playhouses to movie venues in the 1950s.
The theaters hosted performances by Ethel Barrymore, Helen Hayes, Charles Laughton, Tallulah Bankhead, Mae West, Boris Karloff, and Audrey Hepburn.
The theaters retain their original 1922 facades while functioning as part of the modern Goodman Theatre complex at 180-190 North Dearborn Street.
Michael Todd converted both theaters to cinemas, with the Harris becoming Michael Todd Theatre and Selwyn transforming into Todd's Cinestage.
