For many years this theatre was operated by the Fox West Coast Theatre chain till around 1960. It was then part of a few more chains: Century, Statewide, Loew’s and finally General Cinema Theatres. During the 60’s it was one of the Roadshow houses in Los Angeles. It was equipped with Norelco AAII projectors.
The Beverly Theatre got the Art Deco remodel and new marquee in 1936. And during the early 70’s the outside where the small windows (in the above picture)got remodeled , by covering the front areas.
This theatre was operated by Fox West Coast Theatres from 1925 to the late 50’s. Then Amusement Corp. of America, Statewide theatres, Century theatres, Loew’s theatres then the last chain was GCC theatres.
The theatre did not close because of local complaints, it closed because moviegoers went to Westwood or Hollywood. The town had no night life to boot. I worked there as an usher in 1974.
