This
is a complex of several legit theatres that opened in 1985. It's on the
east side of the street just south of 5th. The lobby is inside the 1915
vintage Security Bank Building, the theatres are in the newer building in the center of the photo. Photo: Bill Counter - 2019
The tenant is now the Latino Theatre Company.

The Los Angeles Theatre Center in the Movies:
We're in the Los Angeles Theatre Center as Mark Wahlberg's lecture hall in "The Gambler"
(Paramount, 2014). He's an English professor with problems. The film, directed by Rupert Wyatt, also stars Brie
Larson, Jessica Lange, John
Goodman, Anthony Kelley, George Kennedy, Alvin Ing and Michael Kenneth
Williams. The cinematography was by Greig Fraser. See the Historic L.A. Theatres in Movies
post for two more shots at this theatre from the film plus four pre-production and filming views. Also included are eight stage and basement shots at the Palace plus brief looks at the Los Angeles,
Tower Theatre and Warner Downtown.
