I think its great another old Loews is is still there and being used today. Why do we keep tearing down all the cool stuff and building condos, Thats right I know $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Love this site I am an old theater man myself. Worked for LOEWS many years but love all the old and new movie houses.This site keeps me out of the bars and off the street,just kidding.Great work keep it coming!
Oh the good old days the stories I could tell you about my days with the “LOEWS” gang in Nashville, it would be rated at least a “R”.Our theaters also ways smelled funny and I do not mean popcorn.
Hey Tim, Money is why! In he old days the owners gave you a place that was better than the movie you were watching,much better, all the new movie houses are like shoe boxes. All they care about is the box office and candy stand.You are lucky to be getting a new house in Downtown L.A. All the downtown movie houses closed in Nashville in the late 70’s.Enjoy the show!
when i worked for Loews in the late 70’s We would hire a protester to stand in front of the house, it would be shown on the local news and we had much more attendance than if nobody had heard about it.
Thanks Chris, as “Max Loew” said we sell tickets to “Theaters not Movies” check him out! Would like to see the mighty Arclight.Look at these and see what a theater really was. Lots of Love.Terry Smith at
Tim Thanks for the info.I did not mean any harm! I used to work for LOEWS THEATERS in the U.S.’s WE closed one house that started showing porno and the new owner did not take down the LOEWS SIGNS, it looked as if we were doing it,hope you have a good day!
Cool picture of the LOEWS ELSMERE. Never heard of it until today.
Nice picture I love LOEWS old signs.Too bad that they don,t make them like that anymore!!!!
Great picture of Kelly Furniture with LOEWS SPOONER vertical sign still on it.
