There’s some kind of car business on that corner now. The other corner is a Chevron station. Certainly no resemblance to Joe’s photo.

Here is the current location. The oblong building is 725, then it jumps to 751. The theater is long gone:

I checked out the interior today. Nothing interesting, certainly not like the Westlake. Here are two exterior photos:

Here is a March 2008 photo. I took it while I was driving, hence the odd angle:

kencmcintyre commented about Globe Theatre on Mar 23, 2008 at 8:01 pm

I was driving down Broadway tonight as it was getting dark, and the neon was lit for the Globe, Palace, Los Angeles and Tower. Quite a sight. I took some pictures on the fly which I will post. I would like to see the neon when it’s fully dark at some point.

kencmcintyre commented about Westlake Theatre on Mar 23, 2008 at 7:48 pm

I was inside today, for the first time. I took some photos that I will post, but it looks like Ken Roe and I both saw the same things. I don’t think he got the Santas in the balcony, though (you’ll see). I don’t know how he took his photos, but I had to be kind of sneaky about it as the swap meet owners were everywhere. I couldn’t use my flash, either.

I can’t wait until this is restored, if it happens. I almost wanted to shake the people that were buying t-shirts and say “Hey, look up at the ceiling!”

kencmcintyre commented about National Theatre on Mar 23, 2008 at 9:28 am

Since the description also notes that the theater has been demolished, the function should be changed accordingly.

I think Tower was on Glendon, on the east side of the street. about a half block before LeComte.

Good idea, but I got the same result. I think I must have angered the LAPL.
