I've been searching the Chicago Tribune's archives {on-line} for when was the first time I attended the Monroe Theater in Chicago. (The movie which I sense was the first was "The Case Of The Smiling Stiffs" (a|k|a "The Case Of The Full Moon Murders" [Dir.: Sean Cunningham])).
I'm up to January 1975. "It's.. Frenchy's Friday" was the last movie shown at the fabled Clark Theater (11 N Clark St.) on November 7, 1974.
By then, the Clark was a $1.25 house. It was paired with "Inheirited Sex Mania", a Japanese Pink movie with Sandra Julien!
