Hi all,

Greetings from Thailand!

I guess I am a little late to be ringing in on this discussion. However, friends and I are having a crisis of memory about the names and dates of the Gordon Theater that we remember from decades ago. They say it was the Gordon Theater. However, when the topic first came up, my instinctive memory was that it was the La Brea Theater.

Googling around, there is more than one reference to the La Brea Theater 614 N. La Brea Ave., the same address as the Gordon Theater. So, at least am not entirely hallucinating! Phewwww! But I cannot find an references to when it was the La Brea Theater and why the name changed. Or is La Brea Theater just an alternative name it was know as? There is a “Fox La Brea” further south past Wilshire, but that’s different.

I would be grateful for any additional info and sequence of dates from someone whose memory is held together a little tighter than me and my friends. ;o}

Thanks.

Aloha,

Rex
