Another forgotten gem?
The Boulevard Theater
used to be situated at
1615 West Washington Blvd
. Our friends at Cinema Treasures tell us that the theater opened in 1925.

LA Movie Palaces indicates the theater ceased film exhibitions in 1964.

Apparently the building was demolished in the mid-'80s.
January 1958

Could provocative movie titles (
or lack thereof
) have something to do with the theater's demise?
