Going back to the 1954 photo of 8/6/07, I believe it says Linda vertically and then Lea across the bottom of the sign. This would make sense as the theater was already showing Japanese films by that time.

What kind of films was the Liberty showing in April 1942? Not Disney, apparently. The ad is from the LA Times:

Here is a February 1942 ad from the LA Times. The Russians were still the good guys then:

I drove by the intersection today. The theater was on the southwest corner of 54th and Western. There’s a paved lot now, but it looks like there was something in that space after the theater. Perhaps a gas station.

Here are the photos. I added the UCLA picture to show the original pattern on the floor, then and now. I’m aware that I posted the same photo back on 10/24/05:

Rays was advertised at the 842 S. Main address.

This photo is also from the LOC, but it doesn’t identify the theater except to say it’s in Brownsville, unfortunately. We have three indoor theaters listed plus a drive-in. It doesn’t appear to fit with any of the three:

Is this theater actually demolished? The comment of 2/18/04 implies that the theater still exists.
