The Music Box Theatre was completed in 1929 at 3733 N. Southport Ave. in a building that included nine storefronts and 32 apartments. The building was designed by Louis A. Simon, a local architect who was better known for his Depression-era WPA Post Offices and homes for the nouveau riche. Between 1977 and 1983, the Music Box was used sporadically for Spanish language, pornographic and Arabic language films. In 1983, management reopened the theater with a format of double-feature revival and repertory films. Eventually, foreign films were reinstated, and independent and cult films were added to the roster. In 1991, management added a second screen. Rather than split the main theater in two, a small theater was built in an existing storefront adjacent to the lobby.

I don't have very many Blythe boxes... I guess because I just don't have that many big girls! :oD
I tag anyone who wants to play!
Danboard came with us to watch the Louis Vuitton Pacific Series Yacht racing today. He seemed a bit perplexed by the whole event. Elizabeth Taylor says you can only expect a box to understand so much, I think she might be right!

Here comes the first box of Kuman New Testaments to be sold. These New
Testaments are usually sold at a low price (less than the cost of
producing the books), not just given away, so that the people attach
value to them. This makes it more likely that they will be read instead
of being used for toilet paper and cigarette wrappers. Some were given
away, though. The local member of parliament bought a box or two of
them, and gave them away to the first comers. A was amazed to see that
those who emerged from the resulting rugby scrum had intact books
instead of scraps.
This is one of a series of photos of the Kuman New Testament dedication
in Kundiawa, Simbu Province, Papua New Guinea, on the 27th day of June
2008. This is the first day these people could get a whole New Testament
in their own language. There are about 950 languages spoken in Papua New
Guinea. Other than the 3 national languages (Melanisian Pidgin, English,
and Hiri Motu), Kuman is the language with the third highest population
of speakers.

We were invited at Monica's place to try out Fox in a Box, a concept where you get a box filled with all the ingredients for a wonderful evening with friends. Needless to say we had lots of fun.
Note: box does *not* include foxy ladies.
This old-fashioned police box, now a historical curiosity, will instantly be recognized by fans of the TV series 'Dr Who' as the "Tardis"! The box, and 120 others like it across Sheffield, played an important part in the fight against crime from the 1920s through to the 1960s. Originally, the boxes had blue lights on the top, which flashed if there was an urgent message waiting for police officers. The box was also used for sheltering from the rain, eating sandwiches and report writing. Sheffield is one of the very few cities in the UK where these boxes can still be seen.

Egypt
Darius I as pharaoh
The Achaemenid kings adopted local titles and traditions to maintain their authority across a culturally diverse empire. This included Egypt, which they ruled from 525 to 404 BC. On this wooden door, Darius I (about 550–486 BC) is portrayed (right) as an Egyptian pharaoh, making offerings to the deities Anubis (centre) and Isis (left). The door was part of a box for storing statuettes. It was covered in gold and inlaid with coloured glass.*

Luxury and power: Persia to Greece
(May 2023 – Aug 2023)
Between 490 and 479 BC, the Persian empire tried, and failed, to conquer mainland Greece. Many Greeks explained their victory as a triumph of plain living over a ‘barbarian’ enemy weakened by luxury. Ancient objects reveal a different story. The Persian court used luxury as an expression of prestige and power, with a distinctive style that was imitated and adapted across cultural borders, even influencing democratic Athens and, later, the world of Alexander the Great.
'Treasure there was in plenty – tents full of gold and silver furniture… bowls, goblets, and cups, all made of gold'
When Greek soldiers captured the royal command tent of the Persian king during the Greco-Persian Wars (499–449 BC), they were confronted suddenly and spectacularly by luxury on an unimaginable scale. To many ancient Greek writers, the victories of the small Greek forces against the mighty Persians were a triumph of discipline and restraint over an empire weakened by decadence and excess.
Drawing on dazzling objects from Afghanistan to Greece, this exhibition moved beyond the ancient Greek spin to explore a more complex story about luxury as a political tool in the Middle East and southeast Europe from 550–30 BC. It explored how the royal Achaemenid court of Persia used precious objects as markers of authority, defining a style of luxury that resonated across the empire from Egypt to India. It considered how eastern luxuries were received in early democratic Athens, self-styled as Persia's arch-enemy, and how they were adapted in innovative ways to make them socially and politically acceptable. Finally, it explored how Alexander the Great swept aside the Persian empire to usher in a new Hellenistic age in which eastern and western styles of luxury were fused as part of an increasingly interconnected world.
The exhibition brought together exquisitely crafted objects in gold, silver and glass, and featured star loans including the extraordinary Panagyurishte Treasure from Bulgaria. Whether coveted as objects of prestige or disparaged as signs of decadence, the beauty of these Persian, Greek and Hellenistic luxuries shaped the political landscape of Europe and Asia in the first millennium BC – and their legacy persists in our attitudes to luxury today.

This wall box is part of my arch/shrine series. It alludes to trees, nature, the evolving circle of our life and those things that we find important or pray to. It is porcelain, pattern is carved through black underglaze in a technique called Sgraffito. These boxes look marvelous in groupings of 2 or more.

Found this silicone Jello-O brand mold at Linens and Things for $7. It's dishwasher, oven and microwave safe. (So you can bake in it)
I liked the look of this vintage fire box, so I snapped a shot off of it in front of the Chicago Theater.
I call this kind of box a "Schrodinger's Box" as a reference to the fact that it's made as one large box, and until you slice off the lid, there's just no telling WHAT might be inside... Maybe even Schrodinger's Cat

Ususally there's just sawdust, but you never know....
