The photo features the first Modjeska Theater (1910-1923). The building was razed and replaced with the new Modjeska Theater in 1924. It was named after a famous Polish actress, Helena Modrzejewska (Modjeska).
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee acquired the collection through the Assistance of Polanki, the Polish Women's Club of Milwaukee; and Roman Kwasniewski's daughter, Adele, and her husband, John Kaczmarowski. Representative Walter Kunicki and Senator John Plewa secured state funding for the processing of the collection.
