The Milford Theatre was opened February 24, 1917 with Robert Warwick in “The Argyle Case”. It was built for and operated by the Ascher Brothers circuit, located on Crawford Street (now N. Pulaski Road) at N. Milwaukee Avenue in the Irving Park neighborhood.

The Milford Theatre remained in operation longer than most of its contemporaries in the neighborhood, remaining open until 1990. The theatre was demolished four years later. A CVS Pharmacy stands on the site today.
