Following on from yesterday’s 1964 photo of the demolition of the Biltmore Theatre, I’ve been sent this photo taken from much the same angle, but much earlier. From the get-go, the Biltmore was one of the premiere theaters in Los Angeles, especially for touring productions of Broadway shows. As we saw in yesterday’s current-day photo, that empty land is now occupied by the Central Library. So if the theater opened in 1924 and the library opened in 1926, I’m guessing this photo is 1925. But it’s just a guess, so let’s go with the intentionally vague circa mid-1920s.
