The Wilshire was a lovely theater right up until its death. Always ran first-run pictures, always a good presentation, always a good and attentive staff – just the epitome of what a dignfied single-screen walk-in should be.

In a way, it’s a shame the current market will not support a resurgence of such a theater as this was – that all we can hope for in new construction is the multi-screen megaplex where the sound from the latest action/s-fx blockbuster bleeds through the wall into the auditorium showing a nice dialogue/character-driven film.
