125 years ago today, Vitascope’s first theatrical exhibit took place in New York City. In April 1902, Tally’s Electric Theatre opened in Los Angeles, California.  Home of Hollywood, Los Angeles is no stranger to movie-making or theatres.  The image we’re sharing with you today of a movie theatre at the Connell Naval Club on the Submarine Base, Los Angeles, while taken in 1922, is eerily similar to today’s images of empty theaters.  Hang in there, LA.  We can’t wait to see you at the movies!
