I had mentioned the movie on the other thread.

“Black Orpheus” opened 12/1959.

I just checked the Chicago Tribune archives and while I don’t pay for articles, a search for “Black Orpheus” for the summer months of 1960, does come up with hits.

I think movies certainly did hang around in theaters for a much longer run time back then.

I did not remember the December part, but I was just going to post that date December 1959 was the USA release date for Black Orpheus so...she had to have been in Chicago in 1960.

Through whom did she get to Chicago? friends of parents? or as FRED NERKS suggested, her uncle was there, so perhaps friends of his? do we have any proof that she applied to & was accepted at U of C?
