In 1919, D.W. Griffith, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and Charlie Chaplin broke from the exploitative studio system to form United Artists, gaining complete control over the creation, production and distribution of their work. Seven years later, the United Artists Theatre Circuit was formed to showcase first-run UA productions, with this theater serving as the flagship for west coast operations.
The office building was designed by Walker & Eisen and the theater was designed by C. Howard Crane.
The theater then became the University Cathedral Church of Dr. Gene Scott.
In 2014 the building was converted into the Ace Hotel and the theatre reopened for live concerts as the Theatre at Ace Hotel. Photos Photos remain the property of the Member and may not be reproduced without the written consent of the Member. |
