OLYMPIC THEATRE, LOS ANGELES

LA store detail

Grandly looking over the streets of Downtown LA, the Olympic Theatre held 600 people in its heyday. Decked with glamorous Chinese design cues, it opened in 1927 with a screening of silent comedy Oh, Baby!.

Countless productions were shown during the Olympic’s sixty years as a theatre until its doors closed in the summer of 1986. Though no longer a place where the public can watch the stars, the building has made its way into several films, from 1953’s War of the Worlds to Fight Club.
