!cid_X_MA1_1327445042@aol, a photo by bucklesw1 on Flickr. Here is RBBB's 6-poler in Chicago's Grant Park on the lakefront in 1930. Those 6-pole tents could handle about 12,000 patrons. The largest crowd ever to see a single RBBB performance under canvas was 16, 702 at Concordia, KS on September 13, 1924. This photo was taken by RBBB press agent Eddie Jackson from atop the then new (1927) Stevens Hotel, now the Chicago Hilton. It faced (faces) onto Michigan Ave across from which was Grant Park. When built, the Stevens was the largest hotel in the world. The builder's son is retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens.
