I love this night shot of the Earl Carroll Theater! It stood on Sunset Blvd, just east of Vine, and opened on Christmas day, 1938 and featured with a cast of 60 girls as well as dazzling lighting made from 6200 feet of blue and gold neon tubing, and 30-foot columns of light flanking the stage. Scroll down to see some equally wonderful interior shots.

If my memory isn’t failing me, I saw the play Zoot Suit here when it was called The Aquarius in the late 70’s. I’m sure the interior was vastly changed from this beautiful 1930’s interior though. I was in high school at the time and don’t remember anything more than the exterior of the building.
