In this photo from sometime in the 1930s, we can how Los Angeles City Hall dominated the LA skyline for so long. Nothing even comes close. We’re looking up Spring St with the Lyceum Theater in the foreground. It had 53-year history opening in 1888 as a legitimate live theater, then converting to showing moving pictures in 1914. The Lyceum’s sign promises its patrons that they can “Hear Every Word” leads me to guess that this photo was taken just after sound movies came in during the very late 20s.
