This may be the theater in the twenties. The location is about right, and there appear to be movie posters in the window:

It’s hard to see the theater when you’re walking down Figueroa. The entrance is downstairs, and there is a lot of shrubbery obscuring the entrances. I suppose it’s more visible if you’re staying in the hotel. I’m surprised that this dismal place is still open a year and a half after my original posting.

What was going on?

I think it was the Monica first, then the Left Bank, then the Pussycat.

Post-Manson family. Strike while the iron is hot.

Very slow at this theater last night – few patrons visible.
