Night shot of the Fox Theatre, 300 Diamond St, Redondo Beach, Los Angeles, circa late 1956

Night shot of the Fox Theatre, 300 Diamond St, Redondo Beach, Los Angeles, circa late 1956The Fox studios sure knew how to build a fancy-looking theater, and also how to light it effectively at night. This was the Fox Theatre at 300 Diamond St in Redondo Beach. “The Eddie Duchin Story” starring Tyrone Power came out in June 1956, and “Pillars of the Sky” starring Jeff Chandler came out in October of that year, so this was probably taken late 1956. Note that fancy scroll work above the marquee, and that huge (what looks to be a) mermaid (mosaic?) that I bet was colorful in real life.

The theater came down in 1973 and in its place is now a liquor store. This image is from July 2022.
