I hope the interior is better looking than the exterior.

I was driving down Broadway tonight as it was getting dark, and the neon was lit for the Globe, Palace, Los Angeles and Tower. Quite a sight. I took some pictures on the fly which I will post. I would like to see the neon when it’s fully dark at some point.
I thought this was interesting.
I drove by the Globe today and noticed that they have finally replaced and restored the GLOBE letters on the marquee. not only that, the neon inside was lit and it was beautiful. Im glad that they finally have finished it. I wish I had a camera. But if you are in the area, stop by and look.
There is a 1/28/08 article from the LA Times about the renovation project posted on the Los Angeles Theater page.
Actually, there is a refurbishing of that part of Broadway going on thanks to funds provided for the project. There has been work going on at the Los Angeles and Palace Theaters as well and both of them have “Bringing Back Broadway” on the marquee. I don’t know the details. I thought that nightclub was gone thanks to one too many visits by LAPD but the website link above is still up and running. Personally, I’d like to see the facade made to look like it did when it was the Morosco.
Last July the marquee was advertising a night club. The club may be gone, that’s why they took those panels down. Just a guess.
I was downtown last week. The Globe looked like Hollywood90038’s recent photo. Does anyone know if they’re restoring the neon or something?
LOL!
Corpse Bride was released in September of 2005.
Perhaps Mrs. Ichabod Crane.
Now Showing! The Headless Brides!
Here is a recent photo that shows the red letters.
The letters spelling out “GLOBE” have been replaced with a fresh coat of red paint. No doubt part of the current revitalization of Broadway.
From the UCLA collection of L.A. Times and Daily News photos, here’s the Globe with the name “Newsreel” on its marquee. The occasion was an April, 1948 demonstration by Costa Rican emigres against their government at home. Down the block, the future Newsreel
Theatre (and former and future Tower Theatre) can be seen with the name “Music Hall” on its vertical sign.
Give and Take with Jean Hersholt and George Sidney was released in December of 1928.

All of the letters were gone from both sides of the marquee this morning.

Is that a new armored mobile theater? I think I’ll turn off the email notification for this theater too.
