Heading west, you now run into a theatre that is actually showing first-run
movies. The Palace Theatre used to be the home of silent movies.
The glittering bulbs in the front lobby and its neon marquee make the
Palace one of the points to see in the evening. The Palace was built in
1911 and is one of L.A. oldest.

Next up down Broadway is the Cameo Theatre. A familiar site for
downtown travelers due to its distinctive powder blue and pink marquee,
the Cameo operated from 1910 to 1991, a span of 81 years!

Nearby, the proud presence of the Arcade Theatre graces Broadway.
The Arcade sports an archway above the now barren marquee. Sources state
that this was the first Pantages vaudeville house in the area.

We now come across one of the finest of Broadway's finest... the Los
Angeles Theatre.
The Museum of Neon
Art has been allocated money to rehab a few signs on Broadway, including
this one. Many thanks to Chris Nichols for info.
Built in 1931, the Los Angeles and its gold glittered lettering is the
most lavish of the Broadway theatres. If you do take a trip to downtown
Broadway, stop by here and take a glimpse at the magnificent architecture.
