The entrance of the Wiltern was and is open to the corner of Western and Wilshire. The entrance to the Beverly Hills Warner was fronting only Wilshire as the picture shows. The storefront on the left along with the flagpole are also distinctive clues as to this theater's true identity. A longer shot can be found at http://jpg3.lapl.org/pics01/00020224.jpg.

Here's what else he has to say about the now defunct WB theaters: "That IS the Wiltern! It was a WB theater, as was the (now-closed) PACIFIC on Hollywood Blvd. There was a WB movie palace in downtown as well. The building is still there, but it’s now an indoor swap meet. However, the carved WB shields are still visible on wall mouldings." I just received confirmation from our resident historian here at Warner Bros. that this one is now the Wiltern.

I'd like to say it was demolished in the 60s or 70s, but this marvelous movie palace stood until it was shameless destroyed in 1988. Sammy’s right: Beverly Hills.

It had one of the most beautifully carved ceilings I have ever seen. I grew up around the corner and this building was a big part of my life. Sadly it is now a parking lot.

It's currently a Department of Cultural Affairs-run facility. All the Warner Theatres were done in a similar architectural style, but I'm pretty sure that this is an image of the Warner Beverly Hills.

Downtown on 7th Street, the Wiltern, and the Hollywood Blvd. location now known as the Pacific. I think this one is the Pacific.
