    It kind of looks like the Wilturn Theater. Anyone know what theater in LA this could have been at?

    Answer: The Fox Dome Theater in Santa Monica. It's now been demolished.

    Not really? Steamboat Willy came out in 1928, was revolutionary for its time, and hugely popular. By 1930 there were over a dozen other Mickey Mouse cartoons. It was a huge phenomenon.

    Assuming the youngest in that crowd is 10 years old, most of those people would be at least 105 now, so, probably everyone there is most certainly not with us.

    I feel bad for the few kids that didn't get a mask. Got left out, and the depression just started? Damn. They're smiling here, the next couple decades are gonna wipe that smile right off for good.

    Funny how so much stuff that no one found scary back then is almost universally considered scary/creepy now, like clowns.
