Some more specific comments:
# I am really surprised than the article, being a former COTW, still uses a strange self-made hatnote (rather than Template:See also or similar and fails to include Wikilinks to e.g. Norma Talmadge and Jesse Crawford. 
# While I see that at least one source claims that the theatre was built in the "French Baroque style", even my rudimentary knowledge of history of architecture tells me it was not. Curbing my craving of expanding on that ad nauseam, I would say the building (for what I can tell from reading the article and browsing the photos in the articles referenced) combines elements of neo-baroque and neoclassicism (please note that the Arc de Triomphe is quite obviously neoclassical than baroque), and as a 1920s building I would say it rather constitutes an example of eclecticism or historicism (the WP article on the latter is not relevant to architecture). I guess not every source should be completely trusted on everything.With regard to that, I believe that this article might use some more research and assistance of somebody well-versed in architecture history.  to the best of my abilities with 3 Architecture books.

thread_title:  GA Review 

message: I have reviewed this article according to the GA criteria. Please fix the following issues and I'll pass the article.
#"The building was constructed in 1921 at a cost of US$4 million dollars by architects..." Remove "dollars", it's not necessary.
#"When it opened on October 26, 1921, the 5000 seat theater was called the "Wonder Theatre of the World" Add a hyphen between 5000 and seat.
#Italicize "The Sign on the Door" as other films are on Wikipedia. "The marquee is featured in numerous movies and TV shows set in Chicago, and its neon font was used in the title of the 2002 film Chicago." Chicago should also be italicized.
#Can you make any other mention about Frank Sinatra's performance? Are there any other details about the reopening? I just think it could use some more details if they are available.TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 16:48, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
