Andrew Karzas Builds a $5,000,000 Theatre.

Saloniki-Greek Press, Aug. 21, 1926

p. 6.- The city of Chicago soon will be proud to add to its magnificence, the biggest and best theatre in the world. Mr. Andrew Karzas, an ambitious and enterprising Greek, will build this new theatre which will be named the "New Woodlawn". This four block square theatre will be encircled by 63rd Street, Maryland Avenue, Drexel and 63rd place, and it is to be completed in September, 1927.

The interior decoration will be of Persian design and the stage a reproduction of the Metropolitan Opera House in New York.

Praise and fame belong to Mr. Karzas, not only for his personal progressiveness and success, but also for the prestige he adds to those of the Greek nation in Chicago!
