For you Facebookers (?), there’s something you might like to see on the Los Angeles Historic Theatre Foundation page: I took a series of 21 photos of the theater being constructed and turned them into a time lapse movie. Scroll down to the bottom. In HD!

There was some debate on The Mayan page about whether or not the Belasco even had a projection booth. Well, after the “All About” tour, I can definitely say that the theater has a projection booth. Apparently it was added later in its life, but they did a good job of integrating it into the original design.

Sorry, wrong Belasco. It belongs on the Follies page, I think.

LAHTF’s “All About…” series strikes again! Saturday, May 16, 10:30 a.m. (doors open at 10) at the Mayan. Tours of the Belasco next door will also be included, but from what I have heard, management does not want to allow any photography of the Belasco — so be prepared to check your camera at the door. See you there!

Let’s hope not.

On a visit to the Belasco theater in June 2008, it seemed to be undergoing a reconversion to a disco.

You can see some photos of the Belasco on the Mayan Theater page.

The Belasco was showing films in January 1949, as mentioned in the introduction. The Belasco ad is at the bottom, center of the page. Click on the ad for a better view.
