Los Angeles and the movies grew up together, and a natural
extension of the picture business was the premium presentation of
the productthe 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 Graumans Chinese to the modest El Rey, this volume
celebrates the architecture and social history of Los Angeless
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.
