There’s a glimpse of the Los Angeles theater at the beginning of “Duel” (1971).
A complete history of the theater, photos of scenes filmed at the Los Angeles inside and out and links to photos of the theater at the California State Library. From the losangelestheatres.blogspot.com website:
Los Angeles
This looks like the most beautiful of surviving movie palaces. Happy to know it still shows movies.
Three was certainly no Dolby Atmos when the Los Angeles was operating as a regular theater, but given that the admission for this 50 to 60-minute walk through, with a shorter show-like event in the auditorium, is seventy bucks, and admission times (for groups, but they don’t say how large) are set every 25 minutes, six hours a day, a total of about thirty days, I’m sure the promoters could afford to install it. Even if they only put 1,000 people a day through the event, that would be 30,000 people at 70 bucks a pop, for over two million total. I’d expect total attendance could be several times that. Oh, there’s also a no-host bar. Kaching.
Considering the above comment, was this theater previously permanently equiped with Dolby Atmos surround? Is it really equiped now?
a new immersive called “Angel of Light” is taking place at the Los Angeles theatre through October 31st, 2023.
“The experience is set in the 1930s as guests are transported back to the Hollywood Golden Age and find themselves at the Los Angeles Theatre to see Rota K. Preston’s debut vocal performance. Unbeknownst to the audience, the ancient Angel of Light curse is revived that evening – and attendees will relive the chaotic and unsettling tale through the combination of live performances, elaborate sets, and ornate artistry. The experience uses advanced technology to take those who dare deep into the past, including the power of Dolby Atmos sound, projection mapping, shifting light and music, and power strobe lights.”

The Los Angeles theatre started its Spanish-language policy on April 3rd, 1976 with “Jaws” and “High Plains Drifter” with subtitles.
What is up with the reno’s that are going on right now? I hope nothing too major?
Seen in the movie “Charlies Angels full throttle”.
Used in the music video for Jaded(Aerosmith).
Just added a 1938 shot in Photos of the marquee with a Los Angeles streetcar framing the picture.
1981 & 1957 photos added credit Bobby Gonzales.
Another chase scene whizzing past the Los Angeles is in the 1972 adaptation of Joseph Wambaugh’s book THE NEW CENTURIONS, when Stacy Keach is hanging from the driver’s side door of a moving car. More “Adult Entertainment” fare appears to have been featured at that time: the 1968 British “X-Certificate” import BABY LOVE, and future SNL contributor Nelson Lyon’s experimental film TELEPHONE BOOK.
2015 photo added, photo credit Charles Phoenix.
Last night’s ABC TV Agent Carter has scenes filmed in the Los Angeles Theatre, depicting it as a movie theater.
Oh Im sorry I missed it. I’ll have to try and catch it if they ever repeat it.
Lobby, lower lounge & ladies restroom area featured in last night’s ABC TV Castle episode, pretending that this is the Opera House with Rigoletto being the opera. It should be the Opera House!
Beautiful Theatre. AS a former projectionist, I loved the shots of the projection room.
markp: Yes, that is the Los Angeles Theatre in the video.
Is this the theatre featured in the Capitol Cities video Safe and Sound?? If it is there is a great shot of the projection room at 1:11 of the video.
Redwards1: the architect is listed in the sidebar at the right of the page. S. Charles Lee designed the Los Angeles Theatre, and Samuel Tilden Norton designed the Fox Building, the office structure fronting on Hill Street at the back of the theater.
Who was the architect of the Los Angeles Theatre?
What a thrill to see this theater highlighted in the Lifetime reality series Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition. Great views of the theater, despite the overwrought drama of the show itself. LA theater friends tell me that the show used the theater almost all summer long. BRAVO to Lifetime for using an historic theater as a backdrop for their show!
The theatre was shown in the latest NCIS: Los Angeles episode.
The LOS ANGELES' lobby, the lobby ceiling, chandeliers and candy counter are seen early on in the 1970 Paul Mazursky film ‘Alex in Wonderland’ as part of the storyline. (Later on, there are exterior scenes of the VOGUE and NEW VIEW as well.)
