I learned this week of the passing of longtime Cove manager Spencer Wilson. I was lucky to know him. http://www.lajollalight.com/2011/11/26/former-cove-theater-manager-spence-wilson-99-died-on-thanksgiving-day/

monika commented about Oscars academy to build outdoor theater in Hollywood on Dec 28, 2011 at 12:54 pm

I think this is fantastic news! Anyone who wonders how much demand there will be needs to look just blocks away to the summertime Cinespia screenings at Hollywood Forever, which pack viewers in and have people coming from all over southern California to attend. I am looking forward to experiencing what the Academy has in store.

Thanks for the info, saps. I enjoyed in the documentary how they revisited the theatres of Woody’s youth.

Thank you, Ed! I appreciate it very much. Is the elevated platform still there?

The photographer, Vivian Maier, spent time photographing urban areas of both New York and Chicago. Thank you with your help putting a spot on the map for me.

monika commented about Fox Theatre on Apr 17, 2011 at 2:30 pm

Thanks, Don! I will give him a call. It was my first time in Inglewood, and between the theatres and other wonderful locations to photograph I am already planning my next trip.

monika commented about Fox Theatre on Apr 17, 2011 at 12:16 pm

There are several signs on the boarded up front of the Fox, with old photos and quotes from supporters regarding the theatre. There’s also pictures of the Crest in Sacremento, which is much like the Fox and has been restored to its former beauty.

The group who is trying to preserve the theatre is asking those who are concerned for its future to leave a message at (310) 712-7049 stating why the theatre’s future is important to them.

monika commented about Academy Theater on Apr 17, 2011 at 12:08 pm

My husband and I visited the Academy yesterday. A member of the church saw us taking pictures and introduced himself, we talked for a while about the Academy and Inglewood’s other churches. Such a pleasant encounter.

I had wanted to visit the Academy for a long, long time, and was so impressed with it. (photos to come)

A photograph my husband took recently of the blade sign (daytime) can be seen here:

monika commented about Belasco Theatre on Mar 5, 2011 at 2:19 pm

I want to congratulate everyone involved with the Belasco’s absolutely stunning renovation. The theatre is lovely, and I’m excited to see how it thrives from this point.

Photographs from the LAHTF’s “All About… The Belasco” tour are in abundance on Flickr.
