Tetsu-- Fantastic find, I'm amazed, & can't thank you enough for finding the Max Linder movie house. Looks like it's in great shape. A lot of pictures of the house today are here. I've been looking for more vintage shots, and info on who built it, the architect, etc. So far, no luck. Anyone?

And thanks for your aerial, Hoss.

(I really knew nothing about Linder, who was popular in France but felt he bombed in the US. His end was noirish: According to silentsaregolden.com, "He made a couple more insignificant films in Europe, then declared that he wasn't funny anymore and entered into a suicide pact with his young wife in 1925 leaving an infant child."
