I moved to Los Angeles in September 1984. I had a chance to see the Auditorium before it was demolished, but never did. That is something that I regret. Here are some photos from the LA Library:

UCLA was on Vermont in South Los Angeles before moving to Westwood. That campus was later occupied by Pepperdine before they moved to Malibu.

There was a theater in Tehachapi called the Beekay Theater. The theater was damaged in an earthquake in 1952. At first I thought that Beekay stood for Bakersfield, but as I recall, the two cities are some distance apart:

The LA Library has a sketch of the Academy from 1939, but puts it on Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena. This is either a mistake, or they ended up building the theater in Inglewood:

Here is an early shot of the Teatro. I won’t ask if it’s the right theater this time:
