The Warner is on the same side of Hollywood Boulevard as Pantages and the Chinese. It is located west of Pantages going towards the Chinese, but not as far west as the Egyptian on the south side of the Boulevard.

You drive under the marquee, through the foyer and…..there you are, on an empty space, used as a parking lot!

Ron, If ever you return, you will see the Kingsway tram tunnel is still there. It is now partly used as a road tunnel, partly used as offices for the Thames flood defence and the entrance at the top of Kingsway (beside Holborn) is still unused and has the cobble road and tram track still in place!

I have a book (somewhere in my attic) which has a nice interior photograph of the Stoll Theatre. It was indeed a splendid theatre, unfortunately gone before I came to live in London.
