Can someone place these two theaters on Hollywood Boulevard for me? They must be here under different names, particularly the Warner’s theater. Thanks. The photo is from yesterdayla.com:
Googie is a type of architecture, primarily from the 1950s, that is typically related to coffee shops such as Pann’s in La Tijera and some of the old Ship’s restaurants when they were still around. The term evokes memories of angled ceilings and stainless steel that was considered “modern” in the fifties.

Thank you for the information.
Here is a short bio from a Fresno website. Apparently the architect worked for Rapp and Rapp at an early age. I couldn’t tell you if they are correct.

Thank you for the update.
The marquee will stay. Everything else will go as part of campus expansion.
