We moved from No. Long Beach in 1948. Used to go to the LaShell fairly often, though the only movies that I really can remember are two. They were, what I believe was called, Anthony and Cleopatra, the first color movie I can remember. The other was about a concert pianist in b & w. The score used Rachmaninov’s 2nd Piano Concerto quite a bit. Can’t remember the name.
I was driving around No. Long Beach looking for the old theater a couple years ago, but didn’t have any luck finding it. No wonder, what with all the changes to the facade. Besides, I was looking on the wrong streets. Probably drove past it several times. Anyway, thanks to the listers who sent photos. Brings back old memories. Now if I could find some information on Shady Acres Gold Course which was also on Long Beach Blvd.
