...Chicago these days, the visiting businessman has plenty of time for business. By edict of Police Superintendent Orlando Wilson, the once racy North Side is as dead as Gomorrah. Calumet City, thanks to another crusading police chief, has only darkened flesh parlors to show for its long career as Chicago's sin suburb. Even Al Capone's Cicero has quieted down. No matter.

...water fountains ($500 each) have been snapped up, as have the 280 chairs ($15 each) in the boxes. Says House Manager Alfred Hubay: "Old subscribers have been complaining about those chairs for years-now they want to buy them!"
