This spectacular shot of the Carthay Circle Theatre was taken during a movie premiere in 1931. I don’t know which film was being unveiled that night but the P.R. department went to a lot of trouble creating a tunnel of arches lit up with tiny lights. I bet the effect was magical. On the far left we can see something I’ve never seen before in photos of this theater: a sign saying “Soda – Candy – Sweet Shop – Lunch” so now I’m wondering if an interior photo exists of the concession stand that apparently served more than Goobers, Milk Duds, and Raisinets.
