La Salle Theater (Chicago)

The La Salle Theater was an influential musical, vaudevillian and dramatic playhouse in two Chicago locations, first at 137 West Madison Street, which, until December 1902, had been named the Orpheon Music Hall.

Then it moved into a new facility at 110 West Madison, operating as playhouse until 1927, when film began to predominate.

In the spring of 1950, the building was razed to make way for St. Peter's Church.

The tenant, from about 1903 until 1910, was Mort H. Singer; in 1910, after lengthy legal action, the theater was won by Harry Askin (1864–1934) and the La Salle Opera House Company, composed of Charles W. Murphy, owner of the Chicago Cubs, Askin and several other minor associates.
