SUMMARY

Los Angeles and the movies grew up together, and a natural extension of the picture business was the premium presentation of the product—the biggest, best, and brightest theatres imaginable. The magnificent movie palaces along Broadway in downtown Los Angeles still represent the highest concentration of vintage theatres in the world. With Hollywood and the movies practically synonymous, the theatres in the studios’ neighborhood were state-of-the-art for showbiz, whether they were designed for film, vaudeville, or stage productions. From the elegant Orpheum and the exotic Grauman’s Chinese to the modest El Rey, this volume celebrates the architecture and social history of Los Angeles’s unique collection of historic theatres past and present. The common threads that connect them all, from the grandest movie palace to the smallest neighborhood theatre, are stories and the ghosts of audiences past waiting in the dark for the show to begin.Wanamaker, Marc is the author of 'Theatres in Los Angeles (Images of America Series)', published 2008 under ISBN 9780738555799 and ISBN 0738555797.
