The 1970 IMPA shows the operator of the Art as Lightstone Theater Enterprises, Inc, president Morty Lightstone. This outfit ran numerous houses in New York at that time as well as several in New Jersey, one in Connecticut and one in Washington, D.C.
Not directly connected with this theater, but interesting in its own right, MGM had a subsidiary in El Nasr, Baghdad in 1970, according to the IMPA of that year. The subsidiary was called MGM Middle East, Inc.
It pays to check the LAPL site once in a while as they have an ongoing project re adding new photos to the site. The funny thing was when I was in the stacks downtown last month almost all the photos in the stacks concerning Los Angeles history had already been posted on the website. They are thorough.
Or you could trade what’s behind Door #4 for $500 in cash. I’ll take the cash, Monty.
