I grew up in Watts. The Linda and the Large Theatres were on the same street 103rd. I went to both depending on what was playing. I was at that time in 5th, 6th grade. It was a wonderful time in my life. It was at the Largo that I saw the movie Shane with Alan Ladd. It was at that point in life I told myself if I ever had a son I would name him Shane. I couldn’t wait to repeat the line come back Shane. Well I did have a son and I did name him Shane and I have repeated that line many many times. I am now a Senior Citizen and that was a long long time ago
The entire north side of the 1600 block is a shopping center. No trace of the theater remains.
Advertised at 1625 E. 103rd in the LA Times on 2/11/46.
I was in some pretty dicey neighborhoods today on my theater tour, but I had to take this one off my list. It mapped out to the middle of the worst neighborhood in Los Angeles. We’ll assume it’s still demolished.
On 1/22/50, the features were “Wing and a Prayer” and “Submarine Patrol”. Phone number was LA 4112.
