Recent pictures posted in the Photo section – May, 2018.

BTW, the above 1968 date given for the LAPL photo is actually from 1969, as the marquee attraction THE SHOES OF THE FISHERMAN played its first-run engagement from February 26-March 19, 1969.
Two of the four celing lamps described above were sold to the Bakersfield Community Theatre when the theatre was twinned in 1976 and to this day hang in the live theatre’s ceiling (they actually bought all four but trashed two of them).
Here is a picture of them originally inside the Nile Theatre when it opened in 1938:
