Theatrical, commercial & masquerade costumes, sales & rentals. Broadway Costumes Inc was originally established in Chicago in 1886 as Fritz Schoultz & Company. Fritz Schoultz, a young German immigrant, had been a producer of operas and operettas. He had made several trips back to Europe to purchase costumes from leading opera companies. This collection was augmented by his wife & local seamstresses & tailors. The Fritz Schoultz Collection soon featured a large number of quality costumes.
