We chose this vintage gig poster because so many present-day concerts are being postponed or canceled in hopes of slowing the spread of COVID-19. Please support the staff of your local music venues if you can–the Reader is maintaining a list of fundraisers here.

ARTIST: Ralph Graham (1901-1980)
SHOW: Illinois Symphony Orchestra at the Great Northern Theatre (at Quincy and Dearborn), most Sundays in 1937
MORE INFO: This article about Ralph Graham describes his history as assistant director and in-house artist at the Brookfield Zoo.
