On January 17, 1918 the Iris Theatre opened at 6508 Hollywood Blvd with a classical façade with columns and decorative urns. A Thomas Ince movie called “The Family Skeleton” was playing at the time this photo was taken. The movie was released on March 31, 1918, so I’m guessing this photo was taken in April. I do love the car parked out front. Only room for two people and no trunk at the back!

That location is now a nightclub. This image is from February 2021:

Here’s the poster for “The Family Skeleton” – it looks like high drama was going on in that house!
