I should put the photos on a disk today or tomorrow. Yesterday I went down Pico and then up Western. The most interesting theater was the Union on 24th Street. A nice little theater in the middle of nowhere.
It was on one of the other pages as I recall. I think someone was talking about demolition. I will add the photo when I post the pictures of the Linda Lea, if anyone wants to see what the Higgins building looks like. Actually there is another much larger Higgins building at 2nd & Main which is now lofts. I got inside that building in 1997 when it was a derelict.
My recollection is that the displeasure started with Fatty and continued through the Jazz Age to the end of the twenties. Stars like Clara Bow were known for nightly carousing. Clara was rumored to be a frequent visitor to Tijuana for abortions. So Fatty was a bit far back in time, but he probably started the snowball effect that led to the Code.
Here is a July 2007 photo of the annex:

It’s a fixer-upper.
I did ask if I could take pictures, but no one spoke English. How am I supposed to know cameras are prohibited?
I did that with the State theater downtown, even took a few pictures until I was admonished. That was on a weekday, though.
I’ve been one of her better customers since she opened the store.
There was a multiplex in Lompoc in the eighties. I recall seeing a film there around 1988. Unknown if it still exists.

There’s some renovation going on. I wasn’t allowed in to look around.
The building at 1408 doesn’t look like it was ever a theater, so this is probably a replacement.
This is a nice little theater just south of the notorious Pico-Union area. There is a playhouse across the street, creating a mini-arts neighborhood.
The Convention Center has been built on the site of the former Pico.
331 S. Western doesn’t exist. There’s a building at 327 and another one at 333. The theater is gone.
This is a Korean church now.
This is still a church.
It’s a Korean mattress store now.
This is now a grocery store.
