SAN PEDRO — The Warner Grand Theater turns 91 this year. The historic movie palace opened Jan. 20, 1931 in San Pedro and was purchased in 1996 by the city. The ceiling, designed by renowned American muralist Anthony Heinsbergen, is estimated to be one of about 200 Heinsbergen murals that still survive from the 757 theater murals he created.
The original walls of the auditorium are presently hidden. Once glittering with gold leaf and vibrant reds, the concert hall was painted a neutral beige by the previous owners, covering over the rich art deco designs. The theater is undergoing extensive renovations, expected to continue through 2023. The renovations will include a restoration of the ceilings, walls, chandeliers and tapestries to restore this historical landmark to its original grandeur.
The Warner Grand Theater is one of three remaining historic art deco Warner Bros. theaters in Los Angeles.
