Historical Background
The
New

designed
around
1920
by
architect
A.
B
.
Rosenthal
as a
theater
for
both
motion
pictures
and
live
performances
.
It
was to be
located
on
Hollywood
Blvd.
,
east
of
Cahuenga
Ave
. The
design
featured
luxurious
interiors
in
walnut
,
mahogany
, and
marble
, and
state
of the
art
lighting
equipment
for
unusual
stage
effects
. The
overall
style
is
based
on
Indian
,
Persian
and
Islamic
influences
,
including
gilded
domes
. The
projected
cost
of the
building
was
$375,000
, and the
complete
cost
of the
building
and
all
its
furnishings
,
including
an
organ
and
lighting
equipment
, was
estimated
at
around
$1,000,000
.
Contracts
for the
excavation
work
and
foundations
were
awarded
in
1920
, but the
building
appears
never
to have been
completed
.
