Here is a 1911 photo that Larry Harnisch posted on the LA Times' Daily Mirror" blog. The building advertising vaudeville is similar to the photos of the Optic building posted above, at least for the links that still work. All my USC archive links have expired, again.

Interesting that the state building on First and Broadway that replaced the Mason has now been razed as well, for construction of something large. Tempus fugit.

Here is a photo from the LAPL, circa 1922. The man in the suit is the architect, William Woollett:

There is a series of photos on the LA Times “Daily Mirror” blog, if you scroll about halfway down. I didn’t remember the scene from “Double Indemnity”, though:

I had lunch at a pizza place a few doors down from the theater. This was my first time in South Gate other than driving by on the 710.

kencmcintyre commented about Loew's Capitol Theatre on Apr 13, 2008 at 6:01 pm

I was eating lunch in Culver City back in the 80s when I noticed a lot of attention being paid to a mortuary across the street. It was Rita Hayworth’s funeral. She was unique.

It looks like there will be two Last Remaining Seats shows at the Million Dollar in June. I’m looking forward to it.

I usually go around to the back, but it was just too hot today. I wanted to get back in my car and crank up the AC.

Now you’ve been warned twice.

kencmcintyre commented about Teatro los Pinos on Apr 12, 2008 at 10:16 pm

The UFO guy headlining at the Teatro states on his poster “The Silent Invasion – They are Already Here”. I guess we’ve been warned.

kencmcintyre commented about Teatro los Pinos on Apr 12, 2008 at 9:48 pm

I figured if it was a theater it would have been added already. Thanks for the information.
