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.

Since 1928, Warner Bros. has produced thousands of beloved films
and television shows at the studio's magical 110-acre film factory
in Burbank. This collection of evocative images concentrates on the
Warner Bros. legacy from the 1920s to the 1950s, when timeless
classics such as Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, and East of Eden
came to life. It also looks at WB's earlier homes along Hollywood's
"Poverty Row," the birthplace of Looney Tunes, and the site of WB's
pioneering marriage between film and sound in the 1920s. Early
Warner Bros. Studios also tells the tale of four brothers--Harry,
Albert, Sam, and Jack Warner--scions of a Polish Jewish immigrant
family who rose from the humblest of origins to become Hollywood
moguls of enormous and lasting influence.
