The LAPL photos are mostly street scenes. I think the California State Library has interior photos of many theaters, but I don’t recall if the Pantages was one of them.
There is a photo circa 1943 on this tribute site to the police officer killed by Lee Harvey Oswald on 11/22/63. You have to scroll down for a while: http://tinyurl.com/34vkm3
I found one, but it might be the Grand Palace in Valencia, CA. They build them all alike. I’ll keep an eye out. There was a nice B&W photo on the Flickr site, but I’ll leave that one for you.
We don’t have too many photos of this theater, so I’ll take what I can get. I often have lunch at the Subway immediately adjacent to the architectural atrocity that replaced the Town.
Here is an older photo. I’m not sure if the theater in the photo is the one described at the top of the page:

You may be right. I’m going home. A pleasant holiday weekend to all.

Here is a vintage photo from the LAPL. Ignore the fake Christmas tree in the foreground:

The LA Library keeps producing photos from a seemingly bottomless source, so I will continue to check their site. Maybe we will get lucky.
