[edit]

In the section "Tornado Enters the City," there seems to be a statement that is unreferenced and I cannot substantiate with any other source:

At North 24th and Lake Streets in the Near North Side neighborhood a large African American crowd was enjoying the movie Twister at the Diamond Moving Picture Theater when the tornado flattened the building and killed more than two dozen people.

Relatively few movies existed in 1913, and I cannot seem to find any mention of another movie named "Twister" being played in theatres at the time. Can anyone substantiate this claim in the article and add a reference, or should it be deleted? --W Scott Lincoln, M.S. 17:31, 1 October 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slincoln (talkcontribs)
