The Pantages came to life on June 4, 1930, under the leadership of Alexander
Pantages, and cost $1.25 million to build (excluding theatrical and projection
equipment). Opened as part of the Fox theater chain, the Pantages was one of
the first movie houses to be built after the advent of talking pictures and
once boasted the most elaborate sound system in the world.

In 1949, Howard Hughes, through RKO Pictures, acquired the theater as part of
his national chain of movie houses. It was renamed the RKO Pantages and
seating capacity was increased to just over 2,800 patrons. From 1950-1959,
the RKO Pantages received its highest profile assignment as it was used as
the location for the Academy Awards ceremony.

Pacific Theatres, known at the time for its large inventory of California
drive-ins, purchased the Pantages from RKO in December of 1967 (after leasing
it for two years beginning in 1965) and operated the aging movie palace until
it closed in January 1977.

Unable to fill its seats with motion pictures, Pacific teamed up with the
Nederlander Organization and the theater was restored to nearly its original
seating capacity (around 2700) for a new live theater run of Man from La Mancha.
Since 1977, the Pantages has been home to live theater. In fact, projection
equipment is not currently installed and an apartment and offices on the
second floor of the Pantages occupy those areas today.

The Nederlander Organization beautifully restored the theater in the late 90s
spending a reported $12 million to bring back all of its palatial opulence.
The Pantages reopened, better than ever, in September 2000 for the west coast
premiere of Disney's live production of The Lion King and continues to fill
its seats with the acclaimed and award winning prod (cut)
