I stumbled on the Whittier Theater back in 1968. I went there to see a movie, not knowing anything about the place. I had a hard time watching the movie because I was infatuated with the decor — the Mexican village along the walls and the moving clouds — it was really charming. I just moved back to L.A. after 35 years and the Theater was one of the first places I wanted to re-visit. Very sad it was torn down.
