This is what Cleveland Wrecking Company would place on the marquee of theatres that they were demolishing. They sold fixtures and furishings to the public. Remember when the Fox Theatre in San Francisco was being torndown. I found five of them ready to be trashed.

They took off these Spanish ironwork fixtures and replaced them with plastic light fixtures. When they tri-plexed the Pacific 1,2,3 Theatre (aka: Hollywood Pacific, Warner Hollywood), they replaced all of the balcony hallway light fixtures. So many of the items in the Wiltern today are reproductions of the original items. Like the original seats, many of the original light fixtures and the might Kimball organ. They stripped many things out of that theatre. Pacific Theatres held the lease to the theatre and the fixtures & furnishings. When Pacific Theatre’s Wiltern Theatre was going to be closed and demolished.

I got a box office coin change machine from Carthay Circle. Cleveland Wrecking made out like bandits on many of those Fox houses. When they demolish a theatre the wrecking company gets title to all or almost all of the fixtures. Just before their toredown Carthay Circle, they let managers and other employees take furnishings and fixtures from the theatre. As they did on many of their other theatres during the 60’s-70’s. Because when Fox’s Carthay Circle Theatre was being torndown they used the Cleveland Wrecking Company.

You might get that answer about furnishings and fixtures from the company that was used to teardown the theatre.
