We get a peek at the wildly flashing marquee of the Globe Theatre, 744 S. Broadway, in this shot from "The Savage Eye" (Trans-Lux, 1960). The film, written and directed by Ben Maddow and Sidney Myers, follows a young divorcee played by Barbara Baxley on a noirish pseudo-documentary style tour of the underbelly of Los Angeles. Gary Merrill narrates as "the Poet."
The Globe Theatre pages on the Los Angeles Theatres site will give you a detailed tour through all the areas of this 1913 vintage legit house. It opened as the Morosco.
On IMDb: "The Savage Eye"
