Lido Theater (Newport Beach)

The Lido Theater (also spelled Lido Theatre) is a historic single-screen movie theater in Newport Beach, California. The Lido Theater opened in October 1939 and was designed by Clifford A. Balch in the Art Deco architectural style. Edwards Theatres, Regency Theatres, and Laemmle Theatres previously operated the facility. History In March 1939, a new movie theater to be built near the entrance of Lido Isle was proposed with plans drafted by the Griffith Company. The projected cost of the project was US$105,000, including $15,000 to purchase the lot, $45,000 for the building, $15,000 for theater equipment, and $30,000 to create a parking lot and landscape the surrounding area. On April 26, the theater's construction was permitted; an increase in planned capacity from 750 to 800 was also announced. The Lido Theater opened to the public on October 27, 1939. A popular urban legend about the theater claims it screened Jezebel as its first feature at the suggestion of Bette Davis, the film's star and a resident of nearby Corona del Mar; however, a newspaper report at the time stated that it opened with a vaudeville show titled The Colonel from Kentucky. In 1989, the 50th anniversary of the Lido Theater was marked by a $250,000 renovation. The theater's ocean murals were restored with luminous paint and the exterior was repainted. On September 9, 2001, Edwards Theatres ceased its operation of the Lido Theater amidst the company's bankruptcy proceedings. The owner, the Fritz Duda Company, closed the building while searching for a new operator. Regency Theatres, a movie theater chain in Southern California, signed a lease to operate the theater later that year. In June 2014, Regency Theatres' lease on the Lido Theater expired. A company called Lido Live signed a lease to operate the theater, planning to use it for both movies and live entertainment. During the COVID-19 pandemic in October 2020, the sidewalk in front of the theater and the area under its marquee were used for outdoor dining for local restaurant Fable & Spirit. The marquee sign bore the name of the restaurant and its head chef. In September 2024, it was announced that the Lido Theater would reopen with Fritz Duda hiring director and producer McG as the new operator, through his company River Jetty Restaurant Group, after more than four years of renovations. Architecture Architect Clifford A. Balch designed the theater in the Art Deco style. The building's original facade, facing north on Via Lido, included a corner entrance with 45 foot (14 m)-tall tower and a circular marquee made of copper. The theater's original exterior color scheme has been disputed. During the 1989 renovation, a consultant hired to test for the original color of the building determined it was light pink. In 2014, the theater's operator stated that she believed the building was originally yellow and said that some records claimed it was purple. That year, the Fritz Duda Company decided to paint the exterior taupe, causing controversy among locals and a preservation advocacy group. References
Piedmont Theatre

The Piedmont Theatre, located on Piedmont Avenue in Oakland, California, is Oakland's oldest continuously operating movie theater. Background Piedmont Theatrer was opened on 15 September 1917 by musician Dave Rosebrook as a single-screen theater with a Wurlitzer organ. In 1934, it underwent a major Art Deco remodeling by Alexander A. Cantin, during which the balcony was added. The Piedmont Theatre now focuses on independent and foreign cinema. As with the nearby Grand Lake Theatre, its balcony has been converted into two smaller theaters, bringing the total number of screens to three. It underwent further remodeling in 2011. The Piedmont Theatre acts as a venue for multiple film festivals, including the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, Frameline Film Festival, and CAAMFest. It has been operated by Landmark Theatres since 1994. A previous establishment called the Piedmont Theatre, located a few blocks south on Piedmont Avenue, was a nickelodeon run by Katherine Heber from 1914 to 1917. References

History Fallbrook Community Airpark was planned, built and financed by individual volunteer efforts by members of the community. In April 1963 the San Diego Board of Supervisors accepted a deed for the airport land from the U.S. Navy. In October 1963 the Supervisors granted a special use permit about ten months after the State of California had granted the airport permit. In September 1964 construction on the airport was started by the Fallbrook Community Airpark Board. The airfield consisted of a 2,200 foot dirt landing strip and the first operations occurred on October 28, 1964. In 1967, the first 10 metal T-hangars were constructed, and in 1968 a fixed-base operator opened a flying service with pilot instruction, aircraft rental, fuel and other services. The airport was originally operated for the county by a nonprofit citizens' group called the Fallbrook Community Air Park. The county resumed management and operation of the airport in November 1997. Facilities and aircraft Fallbrook Community Airpark covers an area of 290 acres (120 ha) at an elevation of 708 feet (216 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 18/36 with an asphalt surface measuring 2,160 by 60 feet (658 x 18 m). The airport also has one heliport, designated H1, measuring 45 x 45 ft (14 x 14 m). For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2020, the airport had 21,000 general aviation aircraft operations, an average of 68 per day. At that time there were 98 aircraft based at this airport: 93 single-engine, 4 multi-engine airplanes and 1 glider.

Roxie Theatre

Roxie Theatre is a historic former movie theater in the Broadway Theater District of Los Angeles, California. The venue opened in 1931 as the last theater to be built on Broadway. Architect John M. Cooper's Art Deco design of the Roxie remained the only theater of that style in the downtown neighborhood. In 1978, Metropolitan Theatres converted the space into a Spanish-language filmhouse. Following the Roxie's closure in 1989, the lobby was converted into retail space whereas the auditorium was left intact. History The site of the Roxie previously hosted Quinn's Superba Theatre from 1914 to 1922 and a coffee shop from 1923 to 1931. The prior building was razed and replaced by architect John M. Cooper's design, making the Roxie the last theater to be built on Broadway and the only one in the downtown section of the city built in the Art Deco style. Construction began in June 1931 at a cost of ($2.12 million in 2025). The J. M. Cooper Company served as the general contractor. The Roxie opened on November 25, 1931, with screenings of Honor of the Family and the Laurel and Hardy film Come Clean. On August 4, 1943, 37-year-old Roxie Theatre manager Harry R. Metzger died of a heart attack while operating the box office. On December 24, 1954, a woman committed suicide in the Roxie auditorium during a showtime. Authorities were unable to identify the body but noted that the woman had a Canadian dollar and a receipt from a cafe. On June 27, 1958, Roxie usher Richard A. Studeny held theater manager Robert Brandtjen at gunpoint and fled with $1,200. Studeny turned himself in to police in Florida in December 1958. On January 29, 1978, Metropolitan Theatres converted the Roxie programming to Spanish-language films. The Roxie Theatre permanently closed in the summer of 1989. The auditorium was left intact while the lobby was converted into retail space. In the years since the theater's closure, the auditorium has fallen into disrepair, including water damage. Architecture Architect John M. Cooper designed the Roxie Theatre in the Art Deco style. The facade prominently features a central stepped gable with a vertical sign tower spelling "Roxie" atop it, as well as chevrons and other geometric forms. A colorful terrazzo design on the ground of the building's entrance gained particular notoriety. Cooper designed the 1,600-seat auditorium in a long, narrow orientation to optimize amplified sound. Although the Roxie was purpose-built for movies, the theater house features a small stage, rigging, and a proscenium arch for live productions. The Roxie's grandiose design required over 35 miles (56 km) of electrical wire for its lighting system, 15,000 pounds (6,800 kg) of sheet metal, and 120,000 bags of cement. The theater also included a 31-motor ventilation system.

Highland Theatre

Highland Theatre is a three-story movie and live theater located at 5604 N. Figueroa Street in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. It closed in 2024, six days short of its 100th anniversary. In February 2026, actress and director Kristen Stewart revealed she had recently purchased the theater with plans to re-open it. History Highland Theatre was designed by Lewis Arthur Smith, an architect known for many theaters throughout southern California, most notably the Vista, El Portal, Rialto, and Ventura. Highland Theatre was built in 1924, sat 1,432, and opened on March 2, 1925 with a screening of Lady of the Night, lead actress Norma Shearer in attendance. The theater also featured vaudeville during its early years. By June 1938, Highland Theatre was operated by Fox West Coast Theatres and in the early 1970s, a new owner used the theater to screen adult films. In 1975, the theater was bought by the Akarakian family, who brought back mainstream programming and added children's and Spanish language films as well. In the 1980s, the theater was converted from a single screen to a triplex, the new screens having a capacity of 225, 130, and 110. The building was designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #549 on October 2, 1991. In 2015, the theater celebrated its 90th birthday with a screening of Lady of the Night (the same film that played at the theater's 1925 opening) and a documentary about the theater's history. Both were shown during the Highland Park Independent Film Festival, which was hosted at the theater. The theater was also noted for its low ticket prices around this time; in 2016, it offered $7 ($9.39 in 2025) matinees and Tuesday and Wednesday family discounts for $5 ($6.71 in 2025) per ticket. The theater shut down from March 2020 to May 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Cyrus Etemad, owner of the nearby Highland Park Bowl, bought the building in 2022, and the theater closed on February 29, 2024, six days short of its 100th anniversary, after failing to bounce back post pandemic. The last films to screen were Madame Web, Bob Marley: One Love, and Lisa Frankenstein. Kristen Stewart purchased the theater in 2026 and plans to renovate it. "I didn't realize I was looking for a theater until this place came to my attention. Then it was like a gunshot went off and the race was on. I ran toward it with everything I had," she told Architectural Digest. "I'm fascinated by broken-down old theaters. I always want to see what mysteries they hold." Architecture and design Highland Theatre was designed in the Moorish/Spanish Colonial Revival style. Its most eye-catching feature, however, is its rooftop sign, which contains 502 incandescent bulbs. The interior features murals, frescoes, metalwork, moldings, and a vintage balcony, much of which were covered when the theater was made into a triplex in the 1980s. In popular culture Highland Theatre doubles as the New Beverly Cinema in the upcoming The Adventures of Cliff Booth. It was also featured in Wonder Man and numerous other films and television projects. References
Vision Theatre

Vision Theatre, formerly Leimert Theatre and the Watchtower, also known as Vision Theatre Performing Arts Center, is a performing arts theater and former movie theater located at 3314 West 43rd Place in the Leimert Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. History Leimert Theatre, built in 1931 and opened in 1932, was proposed by Walter H. Leimert, designed by Morgan, Walls and Clements, and owned by Howard Hughes and Fox West Coast Theatres, who sold it to Westland Theaters before construction was completed. The theater was originally designed to seat 1,100 spectators; however this was lowered to 729 to allow for more room between rows of seats. Leimert Theatre remained in operation as a first-run movie theater until 1968. In 1977, it was purchased by Jehovah's Witnesses. It was renamed the Watchtower around this time. Actress Marla Gibbs purchased the theater in 1990, after which she converted it to a live theater and renamed it Vision Theatre. Gibbs invested about $2.5 million into the theater, which she owned until 1997, when she was unable to pay off about $250,000 ($501,399 in 2025) in bank debts. The theater was subsequently purchased by the city of Los Angeles. In 2011, the theater underwent an $11 million ($15.4 million in 2025) conversion to a performing arts center, paid for by the City of Los Angeles and the California Cultural and Historical Endowment. Final construction began in 2015 and was ongoing as of 2025, with the total cost for the entire project being just under $40 million. In 2025, the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs partnered with Tina Knowles's Where Art Can Occur to co-manage and co-operate the theater once construction is completed. Architecture and design Vision Theater's exterior features a streamlined Spanish Colonial Revival rendition of Art Deco. It also features a 115-foot (35 m) steel framed tower with the theater's name on it. Inside, the theater's lobby featured a mural of Samson and Delilah by Andre Durenceau and ceilings designed by Anthony Heinsbergen. In 2015, the building was deemed eligible by the city of Los Angeles for inclusion in local, state, and national historic registries. The city described the building as an "excellent example of a neighborhood theatre from the early 1930s" and an "excellent example of Art Deco architecture, conveying high quality craftmanship and design."

Chumash Painted Cave State Historic Park

Chumash Painted Cave State Historic Park is a unit in the state park system of California, United States, preserving a small sandstone cave adorned with rock art attributed to the Chumash people. Adjoining the small community of Painted Cave, the site is located about 2 miles (3.2 km) north of California State Route 154 and 11 miles (18 km) northwest of Santa Barbara. The 7.5-acre (3.0 ha) park was established in 1976. The smooth and irregularly shaped shallow sandstone cave contains numerous drawings apparently depicting the Chumash cosmology and other subjects created in mineral pigments and other media over a long period ranging from about 200 up to possibly 1000 years or more. There is also evidence of graffiti beginning with early white settlers, which eventually led to creation of a protective physical barrier and State Historic Park status. In 1972 it was added as Site #72000256 on the National Register of Historic Places. Access is from State Route 154 about 5 miles (8.0 km) north of U.S. Route 101 in the San Marcos Pass in the Santa Ynez Mountains, on Painted Cave Road. The cave is adjacent to the left side of this narrow one-lane mountain road, with a slightly widened shoulder that provides parking for one or two vehicles. The drive is not appropriate for trailers and RVs, due to some very tight turns and steep sections. This park is one of the few providing open access for viewing original rock art of the Chumash people in person. Flash photographs are prohibited since they can harm the artwork; some people use flashlights to help view the art, and some take photographs with long exposures with the camera braced on the metal gate or using a tripod.

Чумашская расписная пещера

Исторический парк штата Калифорния «Расписная пещера», англ. Painted Cave State Historic Park — небольшая пещера из песчаника, украшенная настенной росписью, создание которой приписывают индейцам племени чумашей. Находится в 18 км к северо-западу от г. Санта-Барбара в штате Калифорния. Неглубокая пещера с гладкими песчаниковыми стенами неправильной формы содержит многочисленные рисунки, выполненные минеральными пигментами. Часть рисунков предположительно отражает космологические представления чумашей. Хронологический разброс между наиболее ранними и поздними рисунками индейцев, по разным оценкам, колеблется от 200 до 1000 и более лет. Также на стенах пещеры имеются граффити более позднего происхождения, начиная со времён ранних белых поселенцев в этих местах. Обеспокоенность властей сохранностью исторических рисунков привела к созданию Государственного исторического парка. В 1972 г. парк был включён за № 72000256 в Национальный реестр исторических мест. Доступ к пещере относительно удобен с шоссе CA 154. Парк с пещерой — один из немногих, где у туристов есть возможность увидеть образцы оригинального наскального искусства народа чумашей. Фотографирование со вспышкой, тем не менее, запрещено, поскольку они могут повредить изображения, хотя не запрещено подсвечивать изображения во время съёмки или использовать долгую выдержку.
