​

The most lavish and last built of Broadway’s great movie palaces, the Los Angeles was designed by legendary theatre architect S. Charles Lee. It was constructed in 1931 at an estimated cost of more than one million dollars.

​

In addition to its lavish decor, the Los Angeles originally boasted a number of unusual amenities. These included an electric indicator to monitor available seats, soundproof “crying rooms” (for parents with crying children) above the loge, a staffed playroom in the basement, and a glamorous ladies’ lounge featuring sixteen private compartments, each finished in a different marble. In the walnut-paneled basement lounge, a periscope-like system of prisms relayed the featured film from the auditorium to a secondary screen, allowing patrons to watch the film while socializing.

 

The Los Angeles has undergone a number of incremental improvements in recent years. A popular filming and special-event location, the Los Angeles Theatre has been featured in movies like Fight ClubArmageddon, and Charlie's Angels.

To contact the original website, visit Los Angeles Theatre. Fortunately, in our quest for finding information on booking, the website appeared through a Google Search. The website would benefit from a modern design update, but information is easy to obtain, which is what ultimately matters. Unify Broadway hopes to build a stronger relationship among the theatres by placing them on a single website for potential renters to sift and shop through.
