Sharon Coyle, Founder of
Journey Paranormal Society™
is the official paranormal liaison
for this beautiful, historic theater.
"We are deeply, DEEPLY grateful to Sharon
and her
associates for helping us discover yet another layer
of the incredible history
of this theater.
After just one paranormal investigation, we have seen
evidence that we are not necessarily alone here -
so I'm glad we've renovated
the audience area
so our audiences on, both planes,
have a nice place to see a
show in."
- Warner Grand Theatre
The Warner Grand in San Pedro, CA a lavish Art-Deco theater, was originally
opened to the public on
January 20, 1931 with a star-studded gala
premier.
The theatre was designed by B. Marcus Prieca,
who had formerly been the
"house architect"
for the Pantages Theater chain.
The Warner Brothers
hired the architect to build
three lavish Art-Deco Palaces
located in San Pedro, Beverly Hills
and Huntington Park, California.
The Warner Grand theatre in San Pedro, CA
is the last of the three original theaters left intact.
In fact, it is one of
the few remaining theaters of
its kind anywhere.
“oooh so much beauty in architecture
and lots of spirits who responded
to K2 meter for answers.”
- Guest Investigator
The theatre boasted an opulent
lobby with decorative
ceilings, etched glass chandeliers and colorfully-tiled fountains. A double staircase led to equally ornate
mezzanine lounges.
The auditorium included such details as floral
stenciling
on the ceilings, period lighting fixtures, lavish organ
screens,and a curtain featuring a castle rising from the sea, in
keepingwith the theater's billing as
"The Castle of Your Dreams."
Considered
“an art deco masterpiece on a neighborhood scale," The Warner Grand was
part the magical decades of the 1920s and 1930s and was the first
sound-equipped theatre in the South Bay.
As with virtually all of the
theaters of that day,it was designed to accommodate traveling vaudeville circuits with a full stage house,orchestra pit and basement
designed for dressing rooms, but unfortunately stage performances were
never pursued under the Warner Brothers flag.
“I got a great EVP on the stage
that was incredible and shocking."
