Sorry, I guess there was a burlesque theater on the upper floors.

Colosimo’s was not a theater, It was in fact an Italian restaurant run by reported mobster Jim Colosimo. He was murdered in 1920 in the front lobby of the restaurant @ 2126 South Wabash. Don’t know who ran the resturant after his death. Story and pictures here: http://www.myalcaponemuseum.com/id50.htm
Just a little history research.
Thanks,
Denny
