The Leimert Theatre was a movie palace that I remember well from childhood. That was when the cost was $.09.
My parent would take me there for movies such as, “Show Boat”, “Down to the Sea in Ships” and, later, “Oklahoma."
One unique feature at the Leimert was the drinking fountain. This was before the days when we knew the word technology. The Leimert’s drinking fountain water came on when you leaned over it. We kids just couldn’t figure out how it worked and were fascinated by it.
The Leimert has many good memories. I hope the theatre is always preserved and honored.
