The Chicago Theatre turns 90 years old on Wednesday. They're celebrating by offering special marquee tours of the landmark theater today through Wednesday. They're busting out the Wurlitzer Organ for a rare, live performance during the tours, too. By the way, the first event at Chicago Theatre back in 1921 was the silent film "The Sign on the Door," featuring a 50-piece orchestra in the pit.

Chicago Theatre, 175 N. State Street, Oct. 24 to 26, 6 p.m., $15 in advance or $12 at the box office.
