The marquee of the soon-to-open Warner Bros Theatre, 6433 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, circa early 1928Here we have a shot of the marquee of the Warner Bros. Theatre at 6433 Hollywood Blvd telling Angelenos to “Watch for the Grand Opening.” That opening took place on April 26, 1928, so I’m guessing this shot was taken circa early 1928. I love the intricate filigree across the top of the marquee and those two Grecian urns at either end, promising future patrons a movie-palace experience.

This is how that marquee looked in August 2022. The theater is still there but has been closed to the public since 1994.

    As a kid, my friends and I figured out how to sneak into the back door (and also at the Pantages, where someone had obtained a key.) This would have been about 1945-6.

    Too bad it has deteriorated so much. Especially with Warner Brothers celebrating their 100 year anniversary this month. Oh, the good old days!
