Playhouse on opening day in 1923, the cinema played the
film Tips with Baby Peggy.[3] The
original seating capacity in the auditorium held space for 838
seats. The owners later removed
every other row to allow for increased legroom, reducing the
number of seats to 400.[1]
It is one of the remaining historic structures from the 1920s,
when Hollywood was first built up
and began attracting residents to its new suburban homes from
areas near downtown LosAngeles and East Los Angeles, at
the time middle and wealthy class sections of Los Angeles.
The theater is a local landmark. It has been renovated to play
new release movies, and retains itshistoric architecture.
In a manner reminiscent of Grauman's Chinese
Theatre, the theater's forecourt features cementhandprints and
footprints of notable film figures. However, the handprints and
footprints at the
Vista Theatre tend to include more icons of independent and cult
films such as Spike Jonze, John
C. Reilly and Martin Landau, among many
others.
It is used in the 3am portion of Pharrell Williams's
song "Happy" as part of the Despicable Me
2 soundtrack, and also appears on the album cover of 1990's
"Lights...Camera...Revolution!" bySuicidal Tendencies.
