Looks like they ‘became a church’ in November 2023.

Instagram from their ‘soft open’, which includes interior video of the inside..

After perpetually postponing an H.R. Giger exhibit, complaints/legal actions over non refunded ticket money, and non payment of rent, the Multicultural Museum ceased operations. According to the landlord, the tenant, who was doing business under “Vogue Multicultural Museum”, abandoned the space and disappeared, owing over $1.2 million. As of 2024, the theatre is now home to the Victory Outreach Third Wave Hollywood church.

I was assistant manager at the Vogue Theater during the films “What’s New Pussycat” “Shot in the Dark” “Kiss Me Stupid” “Tom Jones” etc. Those were the days.

YouTube video of the Vogue and surrounding area mocked up as 1969 for filming of the new Tarantino film. Vogue portion starts around the 1:48 mark.

So apparently this space is now used for small Hollywood artifacts museum. They give tours every 5 minutes or some such sell. The marquee has been updated to display in all LED light, much like the Ritz/Pussycat/World Continental Theatre across the street. I will post more information when I can get my claws inside.

Was this the only LA house that would take a roadshow bomb like The Big Fisherman. All the others being ‘You’ve got to be kidding.’

Anybody know what the news is for the Vogue now? I know the supper club moved out. At the very least it should be marked as a landmark. Many a great picture premiered there. “Bonnie & Clyde” being a more famous title.

I was the Assistant Manager for a couple of years, in the early 70’s, with George Michaelides.

I’ve seen a lot of nonsense printed about the Vogue and its history. There was never a school that burned down in the early 1900s, killing a bunch of children and their teacher. There was never a projectionist named Fritz who died of a heart attack. That was all crap that was “discovered” when the theater was operated by a paranormal group who sold tickets to gullible tourists.

By the way…Mann Theaters took over in the early 70s, I remember because I had to have the ushers and concessions workers paste “Mann” stickers over everything with an NGC logo.

There were three theaters on Hollywood Boulevard that, for years, never accepted passes…The Pantages, The Pacific and The Paramount/Lowe’s. The Paramount came around just in time for “Lost Horizon”. I may have been the only one to take them up on it.

In spite of its location,it was far from being the most difficult theater to work. That title went to the Fairfax. That was where I discovered that Hell is a Saturday Disney flick matinee when the cashier and doorman have called in “sick”, 1450 tickets have been sold for a theater with 1400 seats and the Manager isn’t answering his phone. The closest we got at the Vogue was “Sport Fishing In America” (Look it up) on a double bill with “The Legend of Boggy Creek”.

Is there an e-mail address that I can forward 2 photos of the Vogue Theatre during the 60’s? One is the lobby during the movie “Two Women” The second is myself “64 at the projection room. sotokappa@charter.net

I worked at Vogue theatre as an assistant manager from 1963 till 1965. During that time, Eugene Klein purchased the “Fox West Coast Theatres” and named the company “National General Theatres” (Mann Theatres came much later.)I still remember the day they planted the little bushes in front of the theatre. We knew it someday they’ll cover our marquee. Alas, they over lasted us. Sotos Kappas

Indeed! They even cut some of the lower branches off that ridiculous tree!

I love trees, but I still find it absolutely amazing that they thought it was a good idea to plant a tree right up against a theater marquee! It’s so crazy!

The VOGUE is seen in passing during exterior scenes within the 1970 Paul Mazursky film “Alex in Wonderland”.

It’s good to hear some of the trees will be replaced with more appropriate trees. While I love trees, whoever was the brainiac that decided to plant trees right under and in front of a theater marquee really should have been fired.

The trees are being replaced?! I propose we all meet up and have a party once those horrible trees are gone!

The facade has been cleaned up. The marquee’s neon now lights up at night and looks great. What you can see of the lobby looks good. Unfortunate its not a movie theatre anymore but at least it’s been somewhat preserved/restored. Once the trees are removed from Hollywood Blvd, it will look much better (the current trees that block store signage and destroy the sidewalk aroung them are being replaced in 2011 by palm trees)

** to SG, I’m not sure any interior shots of this theater exist. I’ve never seen any, even in some of the historic Hllwd blvd photo sites online.

Any ‘before & after’ INTERIOR shots? I’ve got a zillion of the disgraceful facade!
