I never saw any other posts on this event. A friend from Chicago 
checked this out and sent me the Music Box flier. Here are the details:

Their Hitchcock festival ended (and their 3D started) with 'Dial M for
Murder' on March 29th & 30th. 'Phantom of the Rue Morgue' played 
April 5th & 6th. 'The Charge at Feather River' played April 12th & 
13th. On the 19th & the 20th 'The Mad Magician' plays with Bugs Bunny 
in 'Lumberjack Rabbit'. 'House of Wax' plays April 26th, 27th, May 3rd 
& 4th. All these films are at 11:30 a.m. 'House of Wax' also plays 
midnight shows on April 25th, 26th, May 2nd & 3rd.

They showed anaglyphic prints of 'Heavy Equipment' and 'M 3-D' at 
midnight shows also. 

It is true, this will be the last showing of 3D films at the Music Box.
Good news for them, they are getting new 'springs foam upholstery'
seats in both theaters and a new screen and new JBL speakers in 
theater #1. So no more silver screen and no more 3D films, bad news 
for 3D movie fans.
