Historical Data	The Criterion Theatre opened in 1924 and was run by West Coast Theatres. It was the best-appointed theatre in Santa Monica and was equipped with Cinemascope as well as the largest screen in town. The theatre, which had a seating capacity of 1,600, was designed by the Engineering Service Co., and was located on the east side of the street at the corner of 3rd and Arizona. Though the facade remains, the original theatre was gutted when it was rebuilt as a 6 plex by Jeff Cooper Architects in 1983.
Description	View of the Criterion Theatre entrance and box office, with an employee partially visible inside of it. Signage above the entrance reads, ‘Buy war bonds here - now,' 'Owl show - Sat nite,' 'Continuous shows every day.’ Movie posters on the left side of the theatre entrance promote upcoming films.
