Thanks. I didn’t catch that.
I saw a WTTW/PBS thing in Chicago, and a woman reminiscing about the Marbro Theatre mentioned they were required to turn off the entire marquee for safety.
So that large venues with known crowds would not be visible to potential air strikes.
I uploaded what might possibly be the Studio vertical sign, but with the colors reversed from the original.
The shape is the same.
Maybe doubleAA above can confirm if it was changed in the `60s.
If not, I will continue to search for which Studio Theatre it may be.

The original Lovejoy Theater, circa 1919.
A cherished snapshot from my personal collection.
TEMPTATION – a lost silent comedy film directed by Cecil B DeMille – was originally released 30 December 1915. It was also very successfully re-released in March of 1919. This fits in nicely with the information that the Lovejoy re-opened in 1919.
Must have opened prior to 1972.
September 15, 1970 photo added as the the one screen Rise Theatre at Gateway Shopping Center.

My source was Dirk Dabel via Facebook.
But I just did another TinEye reverse image search, and it appears it was used on a 1994 CD release by a band called The Undertoad.
They were represented by Extablishment which still exists.

Most likely for music licensing requests, but you could ask them about the photo.
Appears to be an unincorporated community with a ski resort 16.5 miles away, so likely within view of the drive-in.
Per Wiki:
“The community was established as Camp Baynham in 1906; it changed its name to Camp Baldy in 1910 and became Mt Baldy in 1951.”
The ski lifts were installed in 1952.

Became the Towne Theatre in 1959 and later Towne Cinema by 1974.
So both should be added to Previous names.
