Originally named the Fox Wilshire, this gorgeous art deco theater opened its doors on September 19, 1930. Fox West Coast Theaters built it to house their first-run feature films. For the first 50 years of its life, it served as one of the premiere movie palaces in Los Angeles and has hosted a number of special events such as the 1953 World Premiere of "How to Marry a Millionaire" featuring Marilyn Monroe and Lauren Bacall.
