Great look at this sign, which looks like it was a marvel of the chase bulbs once so prevalent in the Chicago area.

c. 1950
The taxi cabs of this era just knock me out. Edge of Doom, showing at the Astor Theater was indeed released in 1950, and it looks like a sign for Mister Roberts with Henry Fonda–the original Broadway play at the Alvin Theater–is peeking around the corner. Fonda won a Tony Award in the play, which ran for 1157 performances starting in 1948. Decades later I saw The Great White Hope with James Earl Jones at the Alvin, my dad having scored tickets through his job at the Transit Authority (he was a subway motorman) for having donated blood.
