Music Box Theatre - unbuilt

Cahuenga Blvd. north of Hollywood Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90028 | map - approximate | 

Date: 1923. This was a project headed by Nat Goldstein that was supposedly all financed and ready to break ground. 

Seating: It was to be a house seating 1,500 with one balcony.

Architects: Monaco and Bordeaux

This article about Hollywood's new Music Box Theatre was located by Lisa Kouza Braddock in the June 9, 1923 edition of the Hollywood Citizen-News:

Opening: It never happened. 
 
When a theatre with the Music Box name was built in Hollywood several years later it was not with Monaco & Bordeaux as architects. Nor was it on Cahuenga or involving any of the principals listed in this 1923 article. Thanks, Lisa!

More information: See the pages on the Music Box Theatre that was built in 1926.
