We have a field trip on Saturday February 10th, starting at 10 am which goes for 2 1/2 hours -- then we have lunch. The tour is sponsored by the LA Conservancy -- It is a walking tour so bring comfortable shoes -- "Broadway's National Register Historic Theater District encompasses the largest concentration of pre-World War II movie houses in America. This tour explores the unique architecture and history of this street. (Interior access may vary by tour.)" It's impossible to understand the history of the film industry without understanding the exhibition end just as well as production or distribution. This is where it all started.
For a preliminary virtual tour, you can go here.
After the tour, we will have lunch at Clifton's Cafeteria. Listen to the NPR story on this 1930s Depression era landmark here.
