"Your Traffic Officer"



The Warner Bros. Downtown Theatre at 7th & Hill makes an appearance in the 11 minute 1946 short film "Your Traffic Officer" from the L.A. City Clerk's office. The Warner has "Cloak and Dagger" a September 1946 release by Fritz Lang starring Gary Cooper. 



A look at the Orpheum, 842 S. Broadway, from the film. They're running "Suspense," a June 1946 release with Barry Sullivan and ice skater Belita.

The film can be seen on YouTube. Thanks to Eitan Alexander for the screenshots. And to Michelle Gerdes, Torr Leonard and Hunter Kerhart for also spotting the theatres in the film. 

See the pages on the Warner Downtown and the Orpheum Theatre on the Los Angeles Theatres site for more about these theatres as well as hundreds of photos.
