As it says Fox Pantages on the ticket, I’d say that’s definitely an aka.
Scenic artist Amy Higgins has posted some photos of the Pantages on her website:

I wish the Pantages still ran films. It was a great theatre for movies. The last film I saw there was “The Outlaw Josey Wales” in 1976, not soon after that it turned into a Legit theatre.
And the theatre at the time was under the direction of Fox West Coast Theatres.
Here are some photos taken last night:

I didn’t know they kept track. No interest on my part, anyway.
Don’t miss Floyd B. Bariscale’s profusely illustrated page about the Hollywood Pantages, at his Big Orange Landmarks web site.
Here is part of an LA Times story, dated 1/21/53:
An 18-year-old youth who told police he planned to don a felt windbreaker mask and rob the RKO Pantages Theater next Saturday night and a liquor store last night was arrested yesterday along with a would-be accomplice on suspicion of robbery. Police said the youths, both unemployed, had planned to rob a liquor store at 7315 Sunset Boulevard last night.

That was one more comment than I should have made on a ridiculous issue. Enjoy.
How hard was it to “find” this link? It was on Google yesterday morning when I was in court. Your argument doesn’t make any sense.

Here is a LA Times ad for the original run of “It’s a Wonderful Life” in January 1947. The film was not a financial success in its initial release.

Don’t forget “All the King’s Men”. Well worth renting.

RobertR: As much as I like seeing the photos on the page myself (now that I’m no longer on slow dial-up and don’t have to deal with the page taking forever to load), I have to point out that embedding images in a Cinema Treasures comment violates the site’s comment policy (bullet point four of the first section.)
Also, if you click the link (mentioned by ken mc in the previous comment) to this same photo at UCLA’s website, you’ll see that your embedded image is cut off on one side. Apparently, CT has updated its code to prevent its pages from getting stretched out by wide images or long bare links. A wider embedded image than this one would thus lose even more of its content. It’s better to stick to direct links.
I don’t want to be a nag, but you’re posting duplicate photos. This one was posted on 3/13/08.
