CALL BOARD AT CHICAGO THEATRE (1953)

The elaborate call board at the Chicago Theatre, shown in this 1953 photo, contains the running schedule for a five-show day, including all components, both projected onto the picture sheet and live-on-stage.  Dutifully copying her calls (her half hour is 1:11) is Patti Page, who for a week sang "How Much is that Doggie in the Window" five times a day.
