Studio 1 (formerly Ramona Theater)

Welcome to the famous Studio 1 Theatre. The location where stars
used to hang out back in the late 1970's. Wait, wrong city? Well, this
is the former Studio 1, past history unknown.
UPDATE 07/03 : This theater was once called 'The Ramona Theater'. "Born
Free" played there during its first release (as well as many others).
A grand old theater. After 1971 (I believe) the theater changed it's name
to "Studio 1", and shortly thereafter began running Spanish
language films. Many thanks to Ron Strong for update and info on the
Studio 1. 07-03

As the heyday of the magnificent single-screen theatre passed, many of
the majestic movie palaces were gutted, transformed into swap meet like
bazaars, torn down, or converted to churches. This movie house in the
San Joaquin Valley was formerly known as the Chief Theatre and
is being put to good use as a church. Many thanks to Ralph Squillace for photos and info.

Yes, the rumors are true... the beloved Century Cinedomes will
soon be no more. Remnants of an era just past, the Cinedomes were once
THE place to go for a first run movie. But as times change and placeholders
in history such as the Cinedomes become closed chapters. Northern California
still has a few left.

There was once not just one but two Fox Theatres in the city of
Inglewood. However, the deco Fox Cinema II was demolished recently and
the main Fox (pictured on the left) looks to be very threatened.

Hopefully,
this theatre will be graced with an audience once again. Doesn't appear
likely though.
