The Theatre will hold a restaurant and a lounge.
The cupola which was just recently installed (over 5000 pounds and 17 feet tall) is a replica of one of the most famous movie palaces of Hollywood's Golden Age. The Theatre opened back in 1926 on San Vicente Boulevard. The Theatre hosted the premieres of Walt Disney's "Silly Symphonies" in 1929 and "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" in 1937.
These premieres were red-carpet events, with the stars of the motion picture arriving in limos with hundreds of fans in bleachers and searchlights scanning the sky.
In the 1960's the Carthay was considered obsolete, overshadowed by modern cinemas, the theatre was demolished in 1969.
