In its final years, this theater ran some of the best films in Hollywood, showing repertory film on a large 70mm screen.
It became a church, but they moved out around 2007 and the building is now the Oasis Theater, available to hire for live performances.

I went by this place today. Did the church move out as stated above? There is a sign on the side with their web address — the Oasis Christian Center. That site lists “service” times. And there’s still a star (a la Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame) on the sidewalk out front that reads “Jesus Christ the Son of God.”
Great Behind The Great Wall ad – I was, of course, there and saw and smelled the film. And a few weeks later I was at the Ritz seeing and smelling Scent of Mystery.
