Built in 1931, The Los Angeles Theater was the last of the great movie theaters to open up in downtown LA during the heyday of the grand movie palaces that were built on Broadway. The premiere of Chaplin’s City Lights started a three-decade long span of popularity at the theater until attendance dropped and the doors closed in 1994. Now it’s mostly used as a filming location for film and television. [http://christurnham.tumblr.com/post/87769068970/los-angeles-theater-built-in-1931-the-los]
