Date: March 24, 2017

Re: Landmark Designation of the Ahrya Fine Arts Theatre, located at 8554-8558 Wilshire Blvd

To: Beverly Hills Cultural Heritage Commission

From: Laura O’Neill, Sr. Architectural Historian, on behalf of the Property Owner

Introduction

The purpose of this memo is to provide an update to the City Landmark Assessment AndEvaluation Report for the Regina-Fine Ads Theatre prepared by Jan Oshtashay for the City ofBeverly Hills in January 2014 (see Attachment A). The theater, now known as the Ahrya Fine ArtsTheatre, is located at 8554-8558 Wilshire Boulevard. The current property owner wishes to havethe property listed as a Beverly Hills Landmark.

Background

At the October 9, 2013 meeting of the Cultural Heritage Commission, the Commission initiatednomination proceedings for the theater. The City commissioned the Oshtashay report accordinglyto determine if the property met the criteria for Landmark designation. The report concluded thatthe property met criteria A.], A.3, and A.4, that it retained integrity from its period of significance,and that it has historic value. Thus, the report concluded that the property was eligible for BeverlyHills Landmark designation.

The Commission heard the Landmark nomination at its January 8, 2014 meeting. The Commissionvoted to continue the item till the April 9, 2014 meeting. At the April 9, 2014 meeting, the item wascontinued again due to a pending change of ownership. Since 2014, the potential designation ofthe theater has not been brought back to the Commission for consideration, and the propertyhas not been designated to date. The current property owner is in favor of Landmark designationand is requesting that the Commission consider designation at its April 2017 meeting.

Instead of completing a new assessment and evaluation report, City Staff requested that theproperty owner prepare a brief memo identifying any changes to the property since thecompletion of the 2014 Oshtashay report. This memo has been prepared to respond to thatrequest.

Summary of the Oshtashay Report

The 2014 City Landmark Assessment And Evaluation Report for the Regina-Fine Arts Theatre wasvery thorough and logical in its conclusions. The report found the property to be eligible as aBeverly Hills Landmark for the following reasons:

Criterion A.1 (page 13):

The subject property is directly associated with the early recreational, entertainment, social,and architectural history of the community. Within the City of Beverly Hills the Regina-Fine ArtsTheatre is the last remaining neighborhood theatre venue still intact. It was one of five motionpicture theatres constructed prior to World War II in the City that reflected the varied “hayday” of early theatre design philosophy. Designed by noted theatre architect B. MarcusPriteca, the Regina-Fine Arts Theatre is a local extant representative example of the Art Decostyle as used in a small housed neighborhood movie theatre built prior to World War II. Whenthe theatre became the Fine Arts Theatre in 1948 (new owners) the venue was the site of anumber of motion picture premieres. It was also considered a very popular venue in BeverlyHills for younger theatergoers, particularly when they showed classic horror films such asDracula or Frankenstein. Since the subject property visually and physically manifests significantcontributions to the early social, entertainment, recreational, and architectural history of thecommunity in the form of a neighborhood motion picture theater it appears to satisfy thiscriterion.

Criterion A.3 (page 14):

Within the City of Beverly Hills the theatre building, despite its alterations, is a rare extantexample of a modest size Art Deco inspired neighborhood theatre. It retains sufficient historicalintegrity to convey its distinctive characteristics of a particular style, property type, and

GPA

historical period. The structure with its small scale, Ad Deco designs, and neighborhoodorientation further establishes its historical use and function. Sited along Wilshire Boulevard itsornate, cantilever marquee with period neon lite font lettering and decorative parapetsculminating in a tower were designed to be the focal point for the venue and render it highlyvisible along the busy street. Stylistically, the property also embodies a number of distinguishingarchitectural characteristics of the Art Deco idiom, including its vertical emphasis utilizingstepped parapets and reeded pilasters, as well as the stepped neon wrapped central tower.Hence, it can be concluded that the property appears to satisfy this criterion.

Criterion A.4 (page 14):

This propedy was designed by noted architect B. Marcus Priteca. The City’s list of MasterArchitects includes architect B. Marcus Priteca. Priteca is considered one of America’s mostprominent and prolific theatre designers in the country because of his work during the first halfof the twentieth century. He established a trend with his use of the Moderne and Art Decostyles in theatre architecture. Priteca ‘s portfolio of theatre design included venues for both liveproductions and motion pictures. His commissions varied from large elaborate moviepalacelike structures to small-scale aptly designed neighborhood theatres. His work spannedacross the country and Beverly Hills was fodunate enough to have two theatres designed bythis prominent and well-established architect (though only the subject propedyremains extanttoday). The Regina-Fine Ads Theatre, therefore, satisfies this criterion.

Furthermore, the report found that the property retained integrity from its period of significance of1936 to 1949 (page 15):

Those important features of design, materials, location, setting, workmanship, feeling, andassociation from the period of significance are still evident in the subject propedy and help torender it historically significant.

And that it has historic value (page 15):

Because of its distinct property type, architectural styling and character, association with amaster architect and its contribution to the City’s historical and architectural heritage thepropedy is considered to have historic value.

The report did not find the property to have any significance under Criteria A.2, A. 5, or A.6.

Alterations to the Property since 2014

Only one building permit has been filed with the City since the Oshtashay report was completedin January 2014:

• Permit #BS1405436 — Reinstate/maintain existing fire alarm system.

The site visit conducted by GPA staff on March 21, 2017 revealed the following alterations sinceJanuary 2014 based on visual inspection and comparison with photos in the Oshtashay report:

• Exterior paint — The exterior has been repainted. The new paint scheme highlights thebuilding’s Art Deco horizontal and vertical elements.

• Interior paint—The lobby ad concession areas have been repainted. The auditorium spaceappears to retain the same color palette as in 2014.

Ahrya Fine Arts Theatre Landmark Report Update Memo8554-8558 Wilshire Blvd Page 3

GPA

• Patterned film applied to storefront glazing — Glazing film with a pattern of gold squareshas been applied to the storefront doors, windows, and transoms.

These alterations are all minor and have not impacted the property’s integrity in anyway. Itcontinues to retain sufficient integrity of design, materials, location, setting, workmanship, feeling,and association from the period of significance to convey its significance under Landmark CriteriaA.1, A.3, and A.4.

Findings

In our review of the Oshtashay report and its supporting materials, GPA agrees with all of thefindings. The property is eligible for designation under Landmark Criteria A.1, A.3, and A.4. GPAfurther finds that alterations to the property since 2014 have not impacted its historic integrity, thatthe property retains historic value, and that the property remains eligible for listing as a Beverly HillsCity Landmark.

Because the City’s Landmark definition allows for the inclusion of publicly assessable interiors, suchas theaters, GPA recommends considering the addition of the following character-definingfeatures to the character-defining features list in the Oshtashay report on pages 15-16. These wereeach identified as original in the report:

• Reeded, curved walls from lobby to auditorium• Sunburst on auditorium ceiling at the stage• Plaster walls and ceiling in the auditorium• Reeded columns behind the screen at the original proscenium• Original red stage curtains• Palm tree murals flanking the original proscenium

Thank you for your consideration of this memo. I’m available to answer any questions you mighthave at [email protected] or (310) 383-5205.

HISTORICAL NARRATIVE

American Movie TheatresIn the year following the turn of the 2Oth century, moving picture theatres enloyed a remarkable rise inpopularity. Almost unknown in 1 903, there were between 5,000 and 10,000 moving picture theatres in theUnited States by 1910. A strong national economy and a rapidly growing population supported the popularentertainment business. The earliest movie theatres, often known as nickelodeons, occupied storefronts in themain streets of commercial districts across the country between 1 900 and 1 91 5. By 1 915, enterprisingbusiness people began constructing buildings specifically to house movie theatres.

Following the first quarter of the 20th century, movie-going became an established practice across the country,and patrons witnessed the birth of a distinctly modern and quintessentially American architectural creation, theneighborhood motion picture house. While theatres in the downtown areas became known as movies palaces,the neighborhoods boasted having their own movies houses. The unique development and functionalnecessities of the film business demanded more than imitation. The architects of this new building type werefaced with complex needs requiring a vast collection of rooms under one roof. Often times, neighborhoodtheatres were designed with flanking storefronts, a typical scheme of the 1 920s and 1 930s property type, toattract both shoppers and theatre-goers.

The exterior of these theatres helped to fill this role, using forms and styles that made them stand out fromtheir surroundings. As with earlier generations of live theatres and opera houses, the primary facades ofmovie theatres expressed the popular architecture of their day. Creative owners took advantage of stockterra cotta ornament to embellish the fronts of their theatres while others adopted the stylized features of theJazz era into their facades. By the 1 930s and 1 940s geometric Art Deco and Streamlined Moderne motifswere popular for movie theatre design. A broad canopy marquee, often accompanied by a toweringvertical sign, announced the building’s name and purpose. To make sure that nobody missed the message orthe latest film, tracer lights and/or neon were used to trim the often elaborate signs. To help sell tickets,ornately decorated box offices, typically stand along, were often added to the foyer area of theatres.Inside, the architects sought to impress theatre goers with an abundance of lobby space. Chair stands weretypically tailored to match the overall decor of the theatre. The auditorium lighting had to be sufficientlybright for patrons to find their seats, but otherwise subdued for proper atmosphere and film viewing. Covelighting was one solution; concealed by ornamental surfaces and features, cove lights bathed the auditorium ina soft multi-color glow. Backstage equipment included the usual rigging and lighting for stage performers, ifthe theatre was so designed for live productions. Asbestos curtains were included to shield the audience incase of fire on stage. Architects developed circulation patterns to ensure safety and convenience. Aidingtheir efforts were the theatre’s own the ushers, many of them uniformed and trained, who providing additionalassistance in entering and existing the auditorium. Together, it provided and defined the unique building typeof the local neighborhood movie theatre.

Fine Arts TheatreThe sublect property (currently vacant) is situated on an irregular shape parcel measuring approximate 1 32feet (west) by 63 feet (north) by 11 9 feet (east) by 60 feet (south). The theatre was built along thecommercial business thoroughfare of Wilshire Boulevard within the City of Beverly Hills and adjacent to theCity of Los Angeles to the east. The backside of the property (south side) abuts some of the City’s residentialhousing stock dating from the 1 920s and 1 930s. Because of its geographic location along Wilshire Boulevard

and near La Cienega Boulevard the theatre offered similar program features as the movie palaces indowntown Los Angeles or Hollywood. Typical of the period, the theatre was built with a central auditoriumspace with small stage, an entry foyer, and lobby, along with flanking commercial storefronts. Constructedwith approximately 800 seats the Wilshire Regina Theatre, as it was initially called, officially opened onApril 21, 1 937. The first program included a double featuring the films “That Girl from Paris” and “BlackLegion.” According to the newspaper advertisements of the time, the admission fee was 25 cents for adultsand 1 0 cents for children. When it was built the theatre featured a stand-alone ticket box in the foyer, afountain in the lobby, and a “theaterette” or crying room in the ladies lounge. The theatre changed handsand name (Fine Arts) in 1 948 when Fox West Coast Theatres took it over and remodeled portions of theexterior and interior to reflect the Post-World War II taste and trends of the time. It operated as a Foxtheatre for several years with a seating capacity of roughly 700. Re-launching as the Fox Fine Arts, theopening feature on December 28 was the film “The Red Shoes.” The anchoring storefront units continued tooperate over the years as various commercial ventures, including a shoe shop, barbershop, ladies clothingstore, etc.

The property continued to operate as a Fox West Coast theatre house for several years eventually changingownership to the National General Theatres and then Mann Theatres. Laemmle Theatres purchased thebuilding in 1 984 and operated it until 1 993 when it was taken over by Cecchi Gori Films. It was at this timethat the theatre underwent major renovation to its interior features. The remodeling work included theconversion of the flanking retail shops into additional spaces of the theatre. In addition, Art Deco inspireddecorative features and furniture were added to the lobby and auditorium areas as part of the renovationwork. And a larger movie screen was installed in front of the original elevated stage area. Almost then yearsafter re-opening the Cecchi Gori Fine Arts Theatre closed in 2004. A year later the theatre was leased to theScreening Services Group and re-opened in 2005 with the U.S. premiere of the film “Mrs. HendersonPresents.” During this time it was utilized primarily as a rental venue and the theatre was then equipped tohandle multiple film and video formats, including 2K Digital Cinema and Dolby Digital EX. In 2009, CecchiGori Films took over ownership of the theatre once again and operated it for a short time. The venueultimately closed in the fall of 2010 and has remained vacant since that time.

ARCHITECTURAL INFORMATIONThe voluminous one-story movie theatre designed by B. Marcus Priteca exhibits many key features of the ArtDeco, Streamline Moderne style, including its asymmetrical marquee and stepped tower. With approximately6,862 square feet of space the building has a rectangular shape footprint that fronts Wilshire Boulevard.Architecturally, shallow setbacks, reeding, and a strongly geometric pattern articulate the tower and theparapet on either side of it. Below the parapet, the north (primary) elevation of the stucco structure containstwo storefronts and the centered theatre entrance. This floor plan configuration with central theatre space and

adlacent flanking storefronts typify the kind of local movie theatre design that was prevalent in SouthernCalifornia in the 1 930s.

Architectural details include reeded piers that anchor the corners of the building while a horizontally groovedban tops the openings. The storefronts have been re-glazed and the once recessed storefront openings havebeen pulled to the northern property line. The once open foyer has been enclosed with aluminum framedglazing, double doors and a faux partially reconstructed non-original ticket booth. The marquee, with theexception of its name, is original as are its accented miniature “pilasters” and neon lighting.

In terms of the historic interior spatial relationships of the theatre the foyer, lobby and auditorium with narrowstage are still evident. Despite previous interior modifications made to the foyer, lobby, and flanking shopunits, the auditorium space still retains some early elements of its original use and design, including the metaltheatre seats, narrow stage, racking floor, quilted wall coverings and plaster ornamentation on the side walls,decorative sunburst feature on the ceiling, reeded curved entrance walls into the auditorium from the lobbyarea, reeded plaster columns at the rear doorways adjacent the stage, and floor to ceiling expressionisticpainted murals of palm trees on both side walls of the stage (murals are severely deteriorated andcompromised). The highly ornate metal light fixtures on the ceiling in the auditorium replaced original fixturesas part of the building’s remodel in 1 993.

The Cecchi Gori film company took over the property and renovated it in 1 993. Theatre designer JosephMusil, who also assisted in the re-model of the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood and the Crest Theatre inWestwood, brought his colorful, but historically unsympathetic theatrical flair to the re-christened Cecchi GoriFine Arts Theatre. The entire lobby area was remodeled and enclosed at the sidewalk frontage withaluminum double glazed doors. The front of a faux stand-alone ticket booth was built and sandwichedbetween the flanking glazed double doors. In addition, the lobby was enlarged by encroaching into theflanking storefronts and extending the rear wall of the lobby slightly into the auditorium space. A new, largerscreen was installed several feet in front of the old proscenium to accommodate wider film aspect ratios. Thisre-configuring and the use of somewhat wider seats reduced the theatre’s seating capacity to 41 0. Thestorefront space (8552 Wilshire Blvd.) to the west of the lobby was converted into a full concession standwhile the other storefront space (8554 Wilshire Blvd.) was re-modeled to allow for the expansion of thewomen’s restroom (for more stalls and sinks). The original “theaterette” (crying room) window from theauditorium to the women’s restroom area was also coveted over as part of this work. The theatre’s originalArt Deco neon marquee and façade; however, were not touched by the 1 993 remodel and remain essentiallyunaltered today.
