Casino de Chicago, 1933: A Hyper-Revue to Celebrate the End of Prohibition This photograph captures the electrifying atmosphere of the Casino de Chicago's Hyper-Revue, an extravagant production staged in 1933 to mark the end of Prohibition in the United States. The Casino, located in Chicago, was a renowned entertainment venue known for its glamour and decadence. As the cocktail glasses clinked and the crowd roared with excitement, the Casino's stage came alive with an array of dazzling performances. Dancers in sequined costumes swayed to the rhythm of the jazz band, their movements as fluid as the cocktails being served at the bar. The air was thick with anticipation as the audience, a mix of gangsters, stars, and ordinary citizens, reveled in the newly legalized freedom to drink and dance the night away. The Hyper-Revue was a celebration of the end of a decade-long era of Temperance and Prohibition. The Stars and Stripes flags waved proudly, symbolizing the return of normalcy and the restoration of the American way of life. The Casino de Chicago had always been a symbol of defiance against the Prohibition laws, and now, with the repeal of the 18th Amendment, it could finally embrace its true identity as a hub of entertainment and indulgence. This photograph is a testament to a bygone era, a time when the end of Prohibition marked a turning point in American history. It serves as a reminder of the power of perseverance and the resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of adversity.
