The “lighting is everything” creed wasn’t lost on the guys who built the theaters that showed movies. This is the Crenshaw Theater in 1941 – and I love the freeform neon lighting on the ceiling of the foyer. The two movies playing – “Sing Another Chorus” and “We Go Fast” – are so obscure I’ve never even heard of the people in them (except for Lynn Bari, who starred in the latter) but you’ve got to like those prices: General admission 22¢; Juniors 17¢; Children 11¢
