We get this shot of the Pantages, 6233 Hollywood Blvd., disguised as the Casino Theatre in Robert Siodmak's "Phantom Lady" (Universal, 1944). Alan Curtis is going to a show in New York with a lady he just met in a bar. It's a studio set when we go inside.
The problem is that Curtis' wife is murdered that evening and he doesn't know the identity of the lady that might provide his alibi. Elisha Cook, Jr., the drummer at the show, knows something. After Curtis is convicted Ella Raines, his former secretary, tries to clear him.
See the pages about the Pantages Theatre on the Los Angeles Theatres website for hundreds of photos of the building.
