The United Artists theater on Broadway in downtown L.A. during the run of Mary Pickford’s “Coquette” in 1929. This building is still around and recently reopened as a hotel called the Ace Hotel Los Angeles, which features a completely renovated theater. (Like many of the old Broadway theaters, it operated as a church for a long time.) I went there this week for a lookie-loo. We went up to the roof top bar which is, as you can imagine, offers quite the view of downtown L.A. Twas a very civilized way to enjoy a glass of wine.
