Warfield Theatre

Thanks Dallas. That Cinemascope sign did not stay on the Loews Warfield marquee very long. To bad the city of San Francisco tore down all the nice big movie theatre marquees to make the street better looking?

waynezimsr…"the dodos" were the voters that turned down the ballot proposition that would have had the City/County buy the Fox from Fox West Coast for about $1million. A major mistake. The marquees…BART could not build it’s 3 level subway with marquees sticking out over the sidewalks because the pile drivers that hammered the side supports for the Market St subway would have damaged them. Or been in the way. Very unfortunate. The Warfield had one of the best marquees on Market St. But looking back from a 2026 viewpoint there would have been just a few of all those theaters left (the Warfield included). Nearly all the have been demolished.
