I am working on a Documentary Film about the old movie theaters in Long Beach as part of my cable TV series “I Remember Long Beach”.
I would be very interested in talking to members of the Tracy family or anyone else who has memories or pictures of the old theaters.
I was a manager at the Plaza Theater in the 70’s. I can be reached at or 562 439-3465.

The Art Theater is closed as of March 8th 2008. A developer has bought the property. He claims in several local newspaper stories that he is going to restore the theater to its early glory days.
The Linns ( who I have known for 30 years) told me that he is going to demolish the whole building.
