A Wurlitzer model 216 organ (2/10) was installed in the Los Angeles Theatre for its opening after being moved from the nearby Tower Theatre. There has been some confusion about this Opus 1620 Wurlitzer since records show it was shipped to the Garrick Theatre on Apr 23, 1927. But the Garrick had already been demolished by then to make way for the Tower, which opened on Oct 27 of that year. Original plans for the Los Angeles called for installation of a larger Wurlitzer, and chamber space was provided to accommodate it, but the owner ran out of funds and was forced to move the organ from the Tower instead.

The organ had been in the Tower for only a couple of years. After its move to the Los Angeles, it was played for only a short time before being allowed to fall into disrepair. It was restored to playing condition in the early ‘60s, and organist Ann Leaf performed to a full house on Aug 23, 1963. She also recorded tracks for an LP on it (Concert Recording #CR-0083). The organ was eventually sold or, as some reports have it, stolen from the Los Angeles. It’s now known to be part of a larger organ that is in private hands.

It’s been there for years. It was placed there so people could see what was playing at the Los Angeles Theatre, when you were standing across the street at the Paramount Theatre. I think that was the second verson of that sign of the years.

Interior spaces of the Los Angeles could be seen in the 100th episode of the Fox TV drama Bones. (It’s called “The Parts in the Sum of the Whole”; it first aired April 8, 2010.)

No, that wasn’t last year. I volunteered for all six shows for the past two years and that wasn’t one of them. It has to be older than that.

You could see the outline of letters that said “Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum”. I think that may have been from the last Conservancy program in 2009.

Ken, I seem to remember that event happening in the past year or two.

Also, love your shot of the alley sign.
