Thanks Dallas for this classic photo. These side black light murals of scenes of deco San Francisco glowed dark blue when a movie was on. They all left when the cinema was turned into a drug store and a small cinema space put in in the former balcony. Too bad no one saved this classic SF black light art. If you look on the side fire exits from the front right side you can see the whole cement theatre building still standing. They just gutted the inside. Maybe some day when the W drug store goes MR Lee’s family can put the Marina Theatre back downstairs and restore the black light murals if he can find a artist that knows black light art image glow. I have some of the vapor black light bulbs from this cinema, they won’t work with my electric set up.
