Since its grand re-opening in 2006 after years of neglect, the Northwest Side's 1920s-era beaux-arts movie palace has been charming a new generation of film buffs as the new home for the Silent Film Society of Chicago — and a venue for indie flicks, golden-age classics, live dance performances, and more. Tonight's event features a sing-along led by organist Jay Warren and soloist Jean-Marie Minton, along with 18-piece big band the Revolutionary Swing Orchestra, and a "holiday revue" by the DeMaira Dancers — all leading up to the main event, a screening of the timeless Santa-in-the-courtroom drama Miracle on 34th Street, and an appearance by Kris Kringle himself.
