Last Remaining Seats 2013

If you remember, last summer I volunteered at the Los Angeles Conservancy's Last Remaining Seats where they show classic films in the beautiful old movie theaters downtown on Broadway.  I'm doing it again this year - last week I ushered for "All About Eve" with Bette Davis at the Los Angeles Theatre. Last year I showed you photos of the Orpheum Theatre, which has been completely renovated.  The Los Angeles Theatre is waiting for its make-over, but it's still amazingly ornate as it is.  Here are some beauty shots for you to enjoy.
