It was an old Art Deco movie palace. It was renovated in 1981 & Stevie Nicks was the first act to play the renovated theater. Both the theater & Stevie are class acts!
I saw Bruce Hornsby there just a year or two ago (Sonia Dada was the opening act; Bonnie Raitt came out to sing two songs with Bruce in mid-set, then came back again during the encore).

And, back in 1974, I saw the Tommy movie there (an 8am showing sponsored by KLOS-FM) a week before it officially opened.
