Swann Auction Galleries will be selling the design for the original corner sign of this theater on March 26. We don’t have a date on it, but it’s presumably from a renovation circa 1960-1975. An image can be seen here: View link

On March 26, Swann Auction Galleries will be selling the original design for the neon sign built to advertise the Ben Hur premiere at the Loew’s State in 1959. I thought you might be interested in this image on the Swann site:

I hope this isn’t “unsolicited commercial content,” but Swann Auction Galleries is offering the original design for the Psycho premiere sign at the De Mille from 1960. It doesn’t seem to match the image I saw posted above, so it may have been for the lobby or perhaps it was a rejected design. It will be lot 223 in the March 26 Americana auction. If you’re curious,
you can access an image at View link . Thanks.
