This photo was taken the day before the theater opened. The photo is from the Ben Hall book “Best Remaining Seats”. There was a discussion about the book on this page back in July 2006. http://tinyurl.com/5v2uq2
Joe, here is a loopnet photo that Lost Memory posted for the State Theater in Bowling Green. As you can see, the exits are also in the front. I was curious to know from your comment if this was an unusual architectural feature. http://tinyurl.com/4vmxx7
I agree with you, Warren. Almost every entry on this page concerns availability for some kind of sexual adventure. I’m not a prude, but this isn’t the site for that kind of thing. There about eight million other sites that would suffice.
The caption for this photo said “Strand Theater Broadway 1910s”. Going by that, it could be the Strand, but I can’t confirm it: http://tinyurl.com/6sxakx
He’s going to be upset that you spelled his name wrong. Seriously, I enjoyed his work even if I didn’t agree with the NRA business. “Touch of Evil” comes to mind, although it was a stretch to think that he was Mexican. RIP, indeed.

Willows looks to be more than a Sunday drive from Los Angeles, Joe. Maybe a local can help us out.

I think we agree that the status is closed as opposed to closed/demolished.
An appropriate movie to open in Vegas.
“Black Widow” with Lana Turner was released in 1954, so that gives an approximate date for the photo above.

Not likely. It does takes nerve to advertise that kind of film on your marquee. You’d think PETA would be picketing on a round-the-clock basis.

That’s odd, as they come up on my computer. I will try PB.
Did you try the LA library website? There are thousands of photos there. www.lapl.org

No, I got off the freeway on the spur of the moment. I saw the Circle listing when I was posting the photos. Maybe another time.

Taken as such. Thanks.
I wonder if they were running that film in some kind of cross-promotion of the dismal remake that came out last year.
I agree.
I did.
