Wilshire Theatre
The Wilshire Theatre was originally named the Fox Wilshire, opening on
September 19, 1930. It was designed by Architect Charles Lee. The art deco
auditorium and lobby were decorated in silver and black with coral
draperies and seats, a scheme attributed in the opening program to Fox
West Coast general manager Harold B. Franklin. In addition to the main
organ, one of several cobbled up for Fox by Louis Maas and pipemaker
Archie Marsh, the lobby for a time sported an Estey Minuette, a 2/3
portable organ worked into what looked like a large grand piano case.
Renovated in 1981, the house is now a stage
venue.
