The Mason Theater can be seen at far right in this wonderful color photograph.

ONE BIG LOOK! This large format photo is too good to pass up - even if its been seen here before in easier-to-view format.

The Hat, northwest corner of Garfield Avenue and Valley Boulevard, Alhambra, 1950s. This is the very first location of The Hat, which opened in 1951. It is somewhat of a San Gabriel Valley institution with a big local following. They have since expanded to other SoCal locations.
http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...11702108_n.jpg thehat.com The Hat, northwest corner of Garfield Avenue and Valley Boulevard, Alhambra, September 23, 2012. The original still exists! I wish their 1950s prices still existed. I just came home from this location after having called in 2 orders of chili cheese fries for take-out. One order can feed a family of four, it's so huge. Their food is pretty good. Prior to today, I've only ever been to the one in Pasadena, which is in an enclosed building. http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...83479905_n.jpg photo by yours truly |
:previous: I've never heard of The Hat.....amazing that it's still there! Good to hear from you sopas, it has been a while.

Recently posted the above 1941 photograph of 9th and Figueroa and wondered about the "20¢ Times” Theater (and Finkle Arms). The "20¢" was never part of the theater's name. With a little assistance from the Floyd B. Bariscale site, the "Times" started out as the Playhouse (1924) and eventually became the Variety Arts theater. It hosted live stage plays, radio dramas, television shows, musical performances, and of course, 20¢ Movies. I am unfamiliar with the building, but sources indicate the building housed two theaters with live performances upstairs (250 seats) and movies downstairs (950 seats). Wonder how the smoking balcony affected the theater above it? >http://bigorangelandmarks.blogspot.c...-building.html and >https://sites.google.com/site/downto...y-arts-theatre http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3241/3...499bd2e6_o.jpghttp://farm4.staticflickr.com/3290/3...6c7df219_o.jpgFLICKR Other views of the Playhouse/Times/Variety Arts: 1926 http://jpg1.lapl.org/pics37/00038121.jpg http://jpg2.lapl.org/theater3/00015862.jpghttp://jpg2.lapl.org/theater3/00015863.jpgLAPL 1930 http://jpg2.lapl.org/theater3/00015502.jpgLAPL 1941 http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/assets...NG-5350-H?v=hrUSC Digital 1977 http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3290/3...53e4c526_b.jpgFLICKR 2008 http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3197/3...52f282c6_b.jpgFLICKR |
I certainly didn't notice that the '20cent Times Theater' in your 1941 photo was the old Playhouse.
Thanks for pointing that out bifrayrock. I wonder what the 'The Playhouse' is used for today. It looks like it's in pretty good shape. __ |

http://www.flickr.com/photos/metroli...9123/lightbox/ I've been trying to read the hotel sign at the corner of the building but I can't quite make it out.* The entrance on the right look like the old Nadeau Hotel entrance but I know that can't be right. __ * I just found out this is the corner of First and Main. |

Zillow says incorrectly that it is a private house, though who knows--maybe at one time it was. |

I'm not entirely sure about this, but I seem to recall a few other old narrow buildings around town that were also glass works. It makes sense that a long narrow space with plenty of ventilation would have been perfect for dealing with the high temperatures involved in glass-making. |

For our purposes here it's considerably more interesting that his narration obviously refers to "Sonoratown" and, IIRC, specifically mentions adobes that were still in existence at the time. Also, the way he mentions iced tea at La Golondrina suggests that Prohibition hasn't been repealed yet, placing it somewhere between 1930 and 1933. |
