Features:
History: Entrepreneur and film exhibitor, H.L. Gumbiner constructed the Los Angeles Theatre in the midst of the Depression at an estimated cost of more than $1 million. Intent on exceeding existing standards of extravagance, he hired architect S. Charles Lee, who became the City's most prolific theater architect. Lee believed that "the show starts on the sidewalk" and he designed every element of the building to lure the patron inside. Completed in less than six months, the Theater opened with the premiere of City Lights, the landmark film of Charlie Chaplin, who helped cover the cost of finishing the building when Gumbiner ran short of funds.

Built in 1931, the lavish Los Angeles
Theatre recalls the glories of the French Baroque and France's "Sun
King," Louis XIV. Its majestic six-story main lobby overwhelms
audiences with a three-tiered fountain in a hall of mirrors, crystal
chandeliers, a grand sweeping stairway, and gold-gilt sunbursts. And
that's just the lobby. The Baroque auditorium teems with golden
angels, cherubs, and flowery swags. From the rich restaurant space
to the glass-ceiling ballroom, from the marble-lined ladies room to
the circus-motif playroom, the amenities of the Los Angeles give
theatergoers a full entertainment experience.
