No, it was actually just decorative. There are ads for Grauman’s Chinese, El Capitan and others. The theme of the mall is movies, Oscar night and so on.
Of course, the Rosslyn and that big hotel on Main below Seventh (can’t recall the name) are now gentrified, or trying to be, so maybe that’s in the cards for this place. The building looks sound enough.

I think all the ads were for Los Angeles theaters, so it is probably for the Palace/Orpheum.
I waded through the tourists and the lame celebrity impersonators today to take these photos. One tourist was overheard complaining that “I didn’t see one famous person here today”. I didn’t want to tell him that celebrities don’t generally spend their Sunday afternoons hanging out at the Chinese.

How can a vegan restaurant get a B? Don’t the rats get frustrated and leave when there’s nothing to eat?

But is it a hotel, or are the rooms used for rehab purposes. I think the latter, but if not let me know.
Tally’s New Broadway is listed at 264 S. Broadway in this 1908 city directory:
